The Liepaja Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Authority is continuing to improve the infrastructure needed by the fishing industry by constructing an access road to Berth No. 92 at the Port of Liepaja.

Stevedoring company “Mols L” is constructing a new approximately 5,000-square-metre warehouse at the Port of Liepaja, significantly expanding its storage capacity. The total investment amounts to approximately EUR 1.55 million.

“Liepaja has strong potential for the development of the defense industry,” Defense Minister Raivis Melnis said following a one-day working visit to Liepaja.

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 Liepaja Lighthouse will soon open its doors to visitors in a new form, becoming a unique cultural and tourism destination where modern technologies will bring the story of the Port of Liepaja to life. The new multimedia exhibition will take visitors on a journey through the development of the port, from its origins to the present day.
