Cheb offers investors vacant lots and unused buildings

Cheb - The city of Cheb has started offering unused gaps and buildings in the city to investors. This aims to fill in the missing construction in the inner part of the city and primarily to solve the problem of dilapidated former agricultural buildings, said Cheb's deputy mayor Miroslav Plevný to reporters today.
    The city hall had gaps and unused spaces mapped and evaluated offers for two of them - a former vegetable warehouse behind the Hvězda hotel and a former brewery on Dyleňská Street. "However, the offered price for it was too low," Plevný stated.
    According to the decision of the city councilors, the former vegetable warehouse, which was also previously a brewery, should be acquired by the company Unipap, which intends to convert it into a training center with accommodation, and the facility will also include a museum exhibition on the history of papermaking. The company will pay 4.2 million crowns for the complex, which has been unused for about four years due to previous legal disputes.
    The city will also offer investors other locations in the center that can be used commercially, such as a gap measuring over 4000 square meters on Osvobození Street. "It has been an unsightly area with overgrowth behind corrugated metal for quite some time. Suitable structures here would be residential buildings with businesses on the ground floor," Plevný stated.
    The city will decide on the investor based on the proposal, price, and guarantees of completion. However, the lowest offer should be about 3.5 million crowns, according to estimates.
    Investors are also interested in building on undeveloped gaps in Aš in the Cheb area. There, the city hall is negotiating with interested parties for the construction of two complexes of apartment buildings in the city center. "Because many houses disappeared here in the 90s, construction can take place in the city center in Aš, and not just in the countryside like elsewhere," commented the mayor of Aš, Dalibor Blažek.
