Perspective for the Construction of an Industrial and Technology Park (Economic Zone) for the Inhabitants of the Copper Basin

Abstract

The article presents the perspectives for the construction of an industrial and technology park located in the urban and rural com-mune of Lubin. This area is characterized by a monoculture of the copper industry associated with the largest employer in the region – KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. The mining activities of Polish Copper will be limited in the long term. For this reason, other possibilities of exploiting the region’s potential are being sought. It seems that the construction of an industry and technology park is one of the most promising. Local governments, Lower Silesia voivodship, Industrial Development Agency, National Agricultural Support Center, representatives of KGHM and representatives of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister are showing interest in this undertaking.
