Within our partnership, we are investigating whether a Spatial Development Company for Business Parks (ROM-B) can contribute to the improvement and sustainability of business parks or newly developed sites. The decision on this is deliberately left to the new colleges and city councils that are currently being formed. <\/p>\n
In order to be able to make a well-founded decision later on, several concrete business cases will be developed in the coming period. These will provide insight into what a ROM-B can mean, what costs are involved and what risks there are. The approach for working out these business cases has now been laid down in a cooperation agreement between the municipalities of Katwijk, Leiden, Voorschoten and Zoeterwoude. This was decided by the colleges of these municipalities on April 21. Oegstgeest is not participating in this agreement, because there are no areas within that municipality that the business cases relate to. However, Oegstgeest will remain involved in the further exploration of a ROM-B. The municipality of Leiderdorp previously decided not to participate in the ROM-B for the time being. <\/p>\n
The business cases focus on existing and new locations of business parks where the market is not moving sufficiently, but which are important for the future of these areas. Think more jobs, greening and sustainability and better utilization of the sites. With the joint elaboration, the new colleges and city councils will soon have a clear and complete picture of the feasibility of the business cases so that they can make a well-informed decision about the ROM-B. <\/p>\n
