Attracting Investors: Free land for new plants with more than 30 workers
The Mayor of Banja Luka, Igor Radojicic, proposed to the City Assembly a new rulebook on the conditions and manner of alienation of real estate in city property, under which investors could in the future obtain land for the construction of new plants for free or below market price.
With the aim of attracting new investments and boosting economic activity in the city, a new ordinance, which will be presented to councilors at a session scheduled for April 5, could be achieved by investors who commit to employ at least 30 new workers over a period of four years.
According to the draft ordinance, the City Assembly would, before the sale, determine which projects are eligible to be declared an investment project of particular importance for local economic development. In addition, city properties in these categories would be sold solely in public competition.
The ordinance was adopted at the continuation of the ninth session of the City Assembly. With the aim of attracting new investments and strengthening of economic activities in the city area, the new Rulebook – this benefit could be achieved by investors who undertake to employ at least 30 new workers over a period of four years.
