Kiertotie 9 status plan

The zoning plan amendment concerns blocks 300 and 301 (part) of the 5th district, the railway area inside the industrial zone and the adjacent protection areas. The area is located about 3 km from the centre of Varkaus in the industrial area south of the Kiertotie. The planning area is bordered by the industrial area, the railway line and the street called Kiertotie. The site covers an area of approximately 1,763 ha.

Objectives of the land-use plan

The zoning plan amendment extends the area of industrial plots in the planning area in order to improve business conditions. The railway line area (LRT) within the industrial area will be converted into an extension area for industrial premises and warehouses (T) and a protection zone (EV). Between blocks 300 and 301, a protection zone will remain, where a reserve for technical service pipelines will be allocated.
