Guidelines for sustainable business parks in the Saarpfalz district
The Saarpfalz district, much of which coincides with the Bliesgau biosphere , is known for its natural diversity and sustainability endeavours.
The demand for commercial sites, especially from local companies, remains high. The Saarpfalz district therefore offers unique opportunities to develop business parks that fulfil both the ecological requirements of the biosphere and the needs of the regional economy.
The creation of such sustainable business parks in the biosphere is not only an opportunity for local companies, but also an important step towards preserving and promoting the character and values of the Saarpfalz district and the Bliesgau biosphere.
As part of the EU project ZENAPA, two guidelines are being developed with the Saarpfalz Economic Development Agency as a partner.
Guide no.1
The first guideline serves as an orientation aid for the administrations themselves, but also for the heads of administration and political decision-makers as well as the stakeholders involved in environmental and climate protection for the development of new business parks that are both ecologically responsible and economically attractive.
Guide no. 2
The second guideline is currently being compiled and will be used by companies and their planners.
It is expected to be published here at the end of 2025.
