125 acres of a commercial estate is included in the municipal plan of Bjerkreim for the expansion of the regulated area. This can be easily regulated for industry.

It is possible to expand the estate by a further 250 acres within the municipality of Eigersund – to attain a total of over 500 acres of industrial estate.

Egersund Næringspark owns the majority of the regulated area. At the same time, we have option agreements for most of the area that has the potential for expansion. This simplifies the process by being able to relate to only one party – Egersund Næringspark.

The municipality of Eigersund also considers buying into the commercial area, so that the municipality’s support is secured as a facilitator and promoter for establishments.

In Egersund Næringspark you will not face conflicts in relation to housing, adjacent activities, cultural heritage, noise restrictions, nature and environment, or resistance from the general population.

An impact assessment has been made, with several sub-reports, regarding the adopted zoning plan and one does not know of any conflicts or major challenges for the realization of the area. And also, we have not registered any complaints or any kind of resistance from the population so far.

Eigestad is simply the optimal location to place major industry in that matter.
