Former Scrap Metal Preparation Facility Offers Space and Opportunity for Innovative Business Ideas

As an initial step, the Liepaja SEZ Authority consolidated all properties located within the former Liepajas Metalurgs site, worked together with the municipality to develop a local spatial plan, and began construction of roads and engineering infrastructure. Auctions for the sale of properties are the next step in engaging businesses in the regeneration and transformation of the industrial area, offering them the opportunity to acquire existing manufacturing facilities and renovate or redevelop them to meet the needs of a modern, green-economy business environment.

The site of the former Liepajas Metalurgs steelworks is gradually being reintegrated into the city, making it more accessible to the public and more attractive to investors.

The Liepaja Industrial Park is being developed by the Liepaja SEZ Authority and the Municipality of the City of Liepaja on the site of the former Liepajas Metalurgs steelworks. The park borders Lake Liepaja, a protected nature area as part of the Natura 2000. According to the approved development strategy, the Liepaja Industrial Park project aims to attract more than EUR 275 million in private investment and create at least 1,500 new jobs.
