The offer of locations and possibilities of investment in industry in the town district of Považská Bystrica


Description and technical specifications

Dear ladies and gentlemen!

Would you please allow us to offer you this document to give you information about suitable locations for placing enterprising projects and give you a brief picture of the town of Považská Bystrica, its policy in developing the spheres of social and economic life.

I. Town characteristics

The history of the town goes back to the year of 1330 according to the first written official documents. The town was founded next to an old business route in the Váh valley. But the archeological discoveries of the Púchov and Lužice cultures and Veľká Morava Slave colony in the district prove that the first people settled here a much sooner.

Považská Bystrica is a district town which belongs to the Trenčín county. It has approximately 43 000 inhabitants and 12 town parts: Podmanín, Praznov, Zemiansky Kvášov, Považské Podhradie, Orlové, Šebešťanova, Podvažie, Dolný and Horný Milochov, Dolný and Horný Moštenec and Považská Teplá.

The town itself takes an area of 89,49 square kilometers. It is situated with a beautiful scenario in the valley between the Javorníky mountains, Strážovské mountains and White Karpaty with the river Váh running through it. This creates a beatiful view, undisturbed by the town’s architecture.

Demographic structure of the population

The number of citizens on the 1st of January 2003 was 43 056 (51,42 % women, 48,58% men), while approximately 82,3 % of them live in the town itself. 18 % are young people that are studying or preparing for their future jobs, 66% people are working and the rest (16%) are senior citizens.

Educational system

There are 10 elementary schools in the town area. They are attended by approximately 5935 students (aged 6-15). The secondary schools are as follows: Grammar school (125 graduates a year), Business academy (140 graduates), Technical high school (125 graduates), Secondary nurse school (35 graduates), a Specialized construction high school (90 graduates) and Specialized mechanical engineering high school (150 graduates).

The college of transport and communication in Žilina has its accelerated course in production management available here.

Agriculture

The reconstruction of the Slovak economy after 1989 lead to the closing of special production and agricultural collective farms. It affected the employment and economic conditions in our town and district.

We can say that in spite of the recent production decrease in Považské strojárne, which fell victim to the mentioned circumstances, a solid fundament for development of small and middle enterprises was built. The leading industries are light machinery engineering, construction, transport and textile industries. The terciar sphere is developing as well, it is represented mostly by small tradesmen, small and middle bussinesses.

The unemployment rate is decreasing in the district as well. It was only 15,52 % on the 1st of January 2003, which is lower than the national average.

II. The policy of self-governing Town Council of Považská Bystrica in the areas of
economic and social development

After the precinct election in 1994 the representatives of the town council changed the approach to the issues of social and economic life. The town started to take advantages of the market economy while realising its own position on the market and respecting its social purpose.

Affirmative action has been taken concerning the tax policy, environment, construction and reconstruction of town, welfare, social and dwelling policy, transformation of the cultural and social spheres, as well as creating suitable environment which would support the market development and employment.

The well ballanced town budget was increased by 76 % more than in 1994. The solvency and the way of redistribution of investments tell show a healthy economy, professionality and ability of the town leaders to see the priorities and be able to think rationally.

It is neccessary to mention that the increase of the town budget is not a result of the town’s tax policy, because Považská Bystrica is one of the few Slovak cities where the tax rate is close to the 45 % limit passed by a state law. This allows the businessmen, especially the beginners to find their position on the market and on the other hand it allows the strong enterprises to invest.

The town representatives are accessible to negotiations about creating specific conditions for investment intentions. These are very important for the town from the employment and increase of the living standard points of view. For example the town can freed a businessman from taxes for certain period. Or, in case of a yard sale which is owned by the town, the town can offer a bargain price (eventually a free of charge ownership transfer). The town can mediate the gain of a yard which is owned by other people, towns, or corporations by accepting new employees and communicate with institutions that are involved.

This document contains a list of locations and possibilities of placing light industry in the district of Považská Bystrica with definitions of the selected area, transport possibilities, existing communication network, ownership and judicial details.
