Despite the fact that the area has been prepared for establishment, no companies, apart from Grenland Havn, have plans to establish themselves there. The Nature Conservancy believes that it is a failed policy to destroy nature before agreements have been concluded with companies. Mayor of Bamble, Jo Pieter Fl\u00f8lo, disagrees and believes the development will create activity and jobs. The Nature Conservancy hopes that other municipalities will learn from what is happening in Frier Vest and avoid developing such &#8220;ghost parks&#8221;. The summary is made by an AI service from OpenAI. The content is quality assured by news&#8217;s \u200b\u200bjournalists before publication. &#8211; This is a typical example of what happens in municipalities throughout the country. They allow themselves to be fooled by fantasy projects and castles in the air to plan huge natural areas for commercial land. That&#8217;s what Truls Gulowsen from the Norwegian Nature Conservation Association says. He says the plans are often airy. Truls Gulowsen, leader of the Nature Conservation Association.

Photo: Naturvernforbundet &#8211; The municipalities base themselves on the fact that some activity will take place in the area, and then it turns out that very often nothing comes of it. At Frier Vest in Bamble in Telemark, arrangements are being made for what is intended to be one of the country&#8217;s largest business parks. Frier Vest before and after. It&#8217;s just a problem. There are no companies, apart from the Port of Grenland, that have plans to actually establish themselves there. Doesn&#8217;t need to take forever Recently the battery company Vianode, which was to establish itself there, announced that they would rather place their next factory in North America. According to Frier Vester, there are other companies that are interested in establishing themselves. But most have large electricity needs and therefore have to wait for power. Construction machines are working on the Frier Vest area, which is to become one of the country&#8217;s largest business parks.

More ghost parks Many places in Norway have similar areas ready. Lyngdal in Agder, and the country&#8217;s second southernmost municipality, is an example. Here there is a large area ready for businesses that may one day come. The Nature Conservancy calls them ghost parks. The mayor of Bamble, Jon Pieter Fl\u00f8lo, does not agree.

Both to one of Norway&#8217;s largest industrial ports and to a leading industrial park. It will create a lot of activity and more jobs. He says he does not understand what the Nature Conservation Association means. &#8211; Not really. I don&#8217;t recognize myself in it at all. I have been working on this project since 2015. I think this has been absolutely the right way to work going forward, says Fl\u00f8lo. Truls Gulowsen in the Norwegian Nature Conservation Association stands his ground. &#8211; I hope that many municipalities learn from what is happening in Frier Vest and the other areas where there are ghost parks. I hope they stop regulating and developing such fantasy projects because some developers make pink promises. Hi Thank you for reading.
