Maribo Business Park, located just off exit 48 on the E47 motorway, is to be expanded to include transport-heavy businesses. Transport-intensive industries are industries that involve a lot of truck traffic.
Sent for consultation in May
The local plan proposal, together with an environmental assessment, was sent for consultation in May, and Lolland Municipality has received six consultation responses. On the basis of the consultation responses, small administrative adjustments have been made to the local plan proposal, but the administration in Lolland Municipality does not consider that these changes are so significant that a new consultation is necessary.
The location right by the motorway exit, just 18 minutes’ drive from the Fehmarn Tunnel, makes Maribo Business Park a development area with great potential both locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.
Need for heavy transport
Erhvervsparken therefore aims to be able to attract both warehouse, logistics and production companies with a great need for heavy lorry traffic. This requires a new local plan for the area, and that local plan is now ready for approval by Lolland Municipality’s climate engineering and environment committee.
In principle, however, according to the presentation, “transport-heavy businesses” can cover everything from an audit office with many employees who arrive by car to an asphalt factory.
Set for approval
From the agenda for the meeting of the climate engineering and environment committee on Monday 14 August, it appears that the local plan is administratively recommended for approval.
First stage sold out
If the proposal is approved on Monday, the new local plan, environmental report and revised municipal plan will be subject to four weeks of public consultation. The first stage of the Maribo Business Park is already sold out, and among other things, the German property developer Peper & Söhne has secured 55,000 square meters, which is now ready for letting under the name Hub 48 Maribo.
