It would be difficult to create an industrial zone in one of the most famous tourist cities  - 1

A request was recently received in the municipal administration in Sozopol for the allocation of land in which to deposit the earth masses for the construction of the pharmaceutical factory with an economic and tourist complex near the Sozopol village of Zidarovo. “The start of construction should have been given in May this year. There is some delay, but it is not serious", said the mayor of Sozopol municipality Tihomir Yanakiev, quoted by BTA.

The investment project "Vedra Land" of the pharmaceutical company "Vedra International" and the manufacturer "Tera Pharmaceutical" is worth over BGN 40,000,000. In the first stage, the production of medical products is planned, followed by medical supplements and medicinal forms. & Pi; The creation of a business complex for the breeding of more than 60 types of medicinal plants, fruit trees and dairy animals is also moving forward, the company specified during the presentation of the project in September 2023.

This is among the largest investment projects in the municipality of Sozopol, Tihomir Yanakiev pointed out. "At this stage, I wouldn't say that we have something of a similar scale ahead of us, but we are expecting smaller investment projects. We should note that Sozopol is focused almost entirely on the tourist business. "Investments are mainly made in places of accommodation," said the mayor of the coastal municipality.

In his words, Sozopol is a relatively large municipality with a territory of almost 500 square kilometers. "We have wonderful villages, there is still a young population there, that is, there is a workforce and conditions for other productions from the food industry, for example, or productions accompanying tourism. Unfortunately, Sozopol does not have large areas in which to set aside a full-fledged industrial zone. This would be extremely difficult to happen, it is almost impossible. These are things that should have been thought of 30 years ago", added Tikhomir Yanakiev.
