Today, the GCAP project for Wałbrzych was officially closed. The ceremony was attended by representatives of the EBRD, the Embassy of Taiwan, the Ministry of Finance and the Wałbrzych Economic Zone. “It is a pleasure to work with such a well-organized city team. They know what they want and they take decisions and action immediately” Anita says.
The presentation of the completed project took place in Stara Kopalnia in Wałbrzych – a revitalized coal mine, which has become a tourist and local attraction. Now the city is going to implement GCAP, which means that the authorities of Wałbrzych will have to actively seek financing.
“Wałbrzych is tirelessly working to change its image from a polluted industrial city to a tourist attraction and a good place to live for its inhabitants. I hope that it will be able to reverse the demographic trend and attract young people, who will choose it as a place to settle down after graduation or move here from other parts of Poland. The city of Wałbrzych is unique because of its natural surroundings, the proximity of the Czech border, and its historical heritage with Książ Castle and the Old Town. I’ll spend the long weekend in May there, and someday… maybe I’ll move to Wałbrzych” – says Anita.
