Proposed industrial park fosters connections between mayors and their projects

At 19:00 Uhr on 09.09.2025, the SACHSENSPIEGEL website published a video discussing the ongoing dispute between mayors and initiatives regarding the planned Industrial Park Oberelbe (IPO).

The IPO, initially initiated and developed as part of the Innovationswettbewerbs des Bundeslandes Sachsen with the title "Aufbau Ost", is intended to be located in an unspecified region. The project has been jointly driven forward by the City of Heidenau, regional partners, and the Economy Ministry of Saxony.

The development of the IPO, which aims to transform a former paper factory into a modern industrial park with a focus on innovative and environmentally friendly businesses, has not been spearheaded by a single named initiator or company. Instead, the planning has been carried out through a regional cooperation with the support of the Saxon state government.

The video, approximately 2 minutes and 59 seconds in length, may provide additional insights or perspectives on the concerns about the protection of homes and nature, excessively high investments, and job creation associated with the IPO. It may also offer new information about the location of the IPO or the identities of the parties involved in the dispute. The video can be found on Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk's platform, and its format is not specified.

For a more precise answer, it is recommended to make a direct inquiry to the City of Heidenau (City Administration or Economic Development) or the Economy Ministry of Saxony. There, the official documents and project responsible parties are available.
