“As a mayor, I am very happy that we can start this business park here. The sale starts today. It is very important for economic development in the region and employment. For Harelbeke that means a lot of extra jobs … a few hundred soon,” says Mayor Michaël Vannieuwenhuyze.
Evolis I, with 18 companies, is now full, just like the neighboring business park De Pluim. More than thirty companies have already shown interest in Evolis II, where strict selection criteria apply. “We have already done studies on what it means to stack companies in height. That will certainly be a criterion in the selection. In addition to regional anchoring, international appearance, employment and good architecture, economical use of space is of great importance,” said Leiedal chairman Wout Maddens.
