A new industrial estate is to be developed on land previously used by farmers. There is resistance to this. However, the land in question has already been zoned for the construction of new businesses for decades.  

Several large plots of land in Enzersdorf an der Fischa, district of Bruck an der Leitha, were designated as a business and industrial park back in the 1970s. However, they were never used as such. Instead, they were used as fields and farmland. Until now. Because now a company has acquired part of the site. However, an access road from the B10 is required for the land to be used as intended. And this is now to be created via a grass verge.

Protest march against road construction
The GEMa list is opposed to this and has now demonstrated against the project with a protest march. "The rezoning of grassland required for the new road was 'hidden' behind numerous other issues. Apparently in the hope that it would simply be approved by the municipal council," says list chairman Milos Matijevic. He and his parliamentary group want to prevent the project: "We have enough other business parks for companies to set up here."

This is not a question of will. As the zoning exists for a business park, access to the land must be created.

Industrial area planned for decades
The zoning for the industrial area has existed for decades, counters Deputy Mayor Werner Herbert (/FPÖ). The new landowner is even ceding land to enable the other parts of the site to be developed. Otherwise, this would have to be managed by the future municipal leadership. "And it would be a more expensive solution if a separate access road had to be created for each property," Herbert is convinced. However, the connection to the B10 would have to be created now.
