Karelia Passage

Closed

The international border station in Niirala, Värtsilä, is Finland’s third busiest border station. The bottle necks in the increasing of cross-border business activities in the region of Central Karelia – Sortavala include lack of land available for business purposes, lack of various services supporting business and border activities, the limited character of the border activities and organisation of the financing for infrastructure needed to support business activities. The Karelian Passage project in co-operation with authorities and entrepreneurs will analyse the needs of the business life and community economy and plan the land use based on these viewpoints. The project will result in drawing up of a joint land use plan of the Central Karelia – Sortavala to promote facilities for enterpreneurship.
