The feasibility study aims to contribute to an implementation project, where companies in Sundsvall and the surrounding area increase their jobs and growth, and promote entrepreneurship and contribute to the creation of new companies. This feasibility study will be limited to the subcontractors to SCA and Smålandsvillan, which are affected by these notices, which are estimated to be approximately 3000 people. The feasibility study is seen as a next step in the process towards the direction that Sundsvall’s road ahead initiative has paved the way for. Working for business and business development with a focus on sustainable circular industrial economy. Sundsvall is facing an acute structural transformation. At the end of August 2020, 1,000 notices were laid in Sundsvall, when SCA decided to shut down its operations at the paper mill Ortviken. This means not only a loss of nearly 800 services, it also means that a large part of Sundsvall’s heritage and history goes into the grave. During the same time, the state-owned Casino Cosmopol also closes its operations in Sundsvall and the house manufacturer Smålandsvillan also closes their production. These three notices, including subcontractors, will be around 3 000 people who are directly or indirectly affected and eventually risk losing their jobs. This risks affecting the whole of Sundsvall’s industry, everything from the engineering industry to the civil servants sector and will affect Sundsvall for several years to come. Most of the goods are in the export industry and if the same wave of notice affected the City of Stockholm, this means that a total of 30,000 people would be affected. The costs will contribute to a negative development in the form of negative employment and population development with the risk of prolonged and persistent unemployment and exclusion.
