Because space is scarce and cooperation is necessary. Moreover: &#8216;Where you live, you must also be able to work,&#8217; said Alderman Jacco Knape of the municipality of Katwijk. Willem-Jan Zirkzee, chairman of Ondernemend Leiden adds: &#8216;Speed and clarity are of great importance, as are preconditions.&#8217;   <\/p>\n<h2>City Affairs<\/h2>\n<p>More and more regions are opting for a development company to future-proof business parks, as <a href=\"https:\/\/stadszaken.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stadszaken<\/a>, a journalistic platform on urban development, describes in this <a href=\"https:\/\/stadszaken.nl\/artikel\/7691\/regio-s-grijpen-vaker-naar-ontwikkelingsmaatschappij\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">article<\/a>. In the Leiden region, too, we are exploring the possibilities of establishing a ROM-B. <\/p>\n<h2>Building together<\/h2>\n<p>The ROM-B is not an end in itself, but a means to build together a strong, sustainable economy in our region. We learn from other regions, but also share our experiences. For example, we are a pilot of region <a href=\"https:\/\/hollandrijnland.nl\/regionale-investeringsagenda-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Holland Rijnland<\/a> in which 13 municipalities work together.  <\/p>\n<h2>Complex process<\/h2>\n<p>Our exploration is conducted by quartermaster Paul Vismans. He says: &#8216;A process of restructuring, relocation and densification takes a lot of time. It is especially important to gather the right people in a team, with knowledge and experience in this form of area development and with special qualities such as goal-oriented work, willingness to manage risks in a complex process and the determination to bring such operations to a successful conclusion.&#8217; <\/p>\n<h2>Colleges and committees<\/h2>\n<p>On Tuesday, June 3, the colleges of the six participating municipalities were briefed on the process. Presentations will soon follow in the committees of our municipal partners and we will also visit a number of boards of business associations. Keep an eye on this website for the latest news.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Want to know more about our vision for densification, sustainability and greening of business parks?
