Plans for 850-hectare business park and protective green zone south of Nokia
A plan would convert about 850 hectares of forest roughly 4 km south of Nokia into a business park and protective green zone, but the proposal conflicts with the regional land-use plan that currently designates the area as rural.
About 850 hectares of mostly undeveloped forest roughly four kilometres south of Nokia town centre, south of Tappuri and Highway 11, are earmarked for a proposed industrial and protective green zone. Tamperelainen reports the draft plan aims to create a well-connected business park offering very large plots to attract companies linked to the green transition and other operations that need more space than existing zones can provide. It would serve the wider Tampere region. The proposal conflicts with the current regional land use plan, which designates the land as rural. Pirkanmaa's Regional Council said that if the present demand for large industrial plots had been known earlier, the issue would have been addressed in the regional plan.
