Valorisation of Grodziec Cement Plant in Będzin as a basis for the process of local transformation (task I)

The project is implemented in the post-mining and post-industrial district of Będzin - Grodziec, the largest unit of the city, the hardest hit by the effects of industrial transformation from the 80's to the 90's. Abandoned for several decades and taken over by the city, the former cement plant, thanks to the project, has a chance to once again become a center of local social and economic life and a tourist attraction. Project about the area. 2,3016 ha is the largest and first stage of the transformation activities of the site and includes: - adaptation of cement silos 1, 2, 3 and 4 with part of the packing hall, coal mill and cement transporter to the city center of culture and animation, housing: within complex no. 1 - theatre room, building of cultural center and headquarters and places for local NGOs, summer cinema and entrance to the transporter; within complex 2 - communication, dance and gym room and reading room with a library, as well as facilities and meetings and training rooms for local environments with management systems, access control, RES installations - arming the area for the above-mentioned buildings - making connections for the electrical industry with a switchboard, gas, water and sewage connections, lighting, - land development - internal communication system with inclusion in ul.

The project is a response to the needs of local communities - active NGOs, as well as groups operating in the education, animation and culture sectors. In Grodziec, this type of infrastructure practically does not exist, and groups that have been active for years are looking for a place to act - thanks to the project, such a place will be created and revitalize the entire area, while the well-known facility of the former plant will gain new life, becoming also a magnet for outsiders. Logotypes will be used to mark documents related to the implementation of the project, e.g. inquiries, tender documentation, contracts, delivery and acceptance protocols. The purchased equipment will be marked with permanent stickers, in accordance with the guidelines. Immediately after the start of physical implementation, an information board with dimensions of 240x120 cm will be erected at the place of project implementation - publicly available - which after its completion will serve as a commemorative plaque. Information about the project will be posted on the website dedicated to EU projects implemented by the City of Będzin and on social media, as well as on the site of the facility / project. In addition, the applicant will organise an information and publicity event or activity (press conference or project promotion event) at the start of the project or at an important stage of the project. A representative of the European Commission and the Managing Authority will be invited to attend the event at least 4 weeks in advance. The description of the project will contain all the required information in accordance with the assumptions of the Manual of the Applicant and Beneficiary of European Funds for 2021-2027 in the field of information and promotion. https://www.będzin.pl/strona-149-projekty_unijne.html
