The project in Niemce is the confirmation of the investment attractiveness of Lublin and the entire Lublin Metropolitan Area, and at the same time a great example of effective collaboration between the municipality of Lublin and neighbouring communes which make up the LMA – says Igor Niewiadomski, Investor Relations Manager at Invest in Lublin.
