The first meeting of the working group dedicated to the development of the former Lviv Bus Factory territory took place in Lviv. Participants, including university rectors, entrepreneurs, and government representatives, discussed the possibilities for transforming this area. This was reported by the Lviv City Council.
Inna Svystun, Director of the Economic Department, noted that the former factory was one of the largest industrial centres in the city. She emphasised the importance of transforming this area into an innovation park, which would contribute to Lviv’s economic development.
Lviv’s Chief Architect Anton Kolomeytsev highlighted the architectural and planning aspects, noting that the area has the potential for the development of innovative enterprises. He stressed that this location is ideal for high-tech production.
