Jost Energy AG has focused on energy issues.
Now the company wants to build a Green Campus in Neufahrn - on an area of twelve hectares south of Römerstrasse.
The municipal councils promise an image boost for Neufahrn.
Neufahrn - sustainable, innovative, ecological and economical, future and pioneering.
Jost Energy AG's plans to develop a “Green Campus Neufahrn” on the area south of Römerstrasse and the Am Römerweg industrial park met with great approval from the local council.
After a few years ago applications from ProLogis and Transgourmet to settle in this area were rejected, the majority in the local council is now certain that a lighthouse project can be implemented.
Jürgen Jost and his company have been project developers for 30 years - “the focus is always on the energy issues of the time,” as Jost said on Monday in the local council.
Example: the “Brucklyn” project in Erlangen.
Professor Mike de Saldanha then presented what they are planning to do in Neufahrn: Between the airport, the Technical University in Garching and Freising, and the autobahn, the aim here in Neufahrn is to deal with the mega-issues of the day such as digitization, artificial intelligence and mobility.
Jost Energy AG is hoping for a S-Bahn stop in the industrial park
The future “Green Campus” not only envisages that the various buildings are digitally and energetically linked, one also imagines a mix of uses: There will be production and administration, but also laboratories, rooms for start-up companies, green farming , Companies that are working on new drive technologies or on energy storage, but also childcare and living - a real campus that Jost Energy AG plans to build on the twelve hectare area south of Römerstrasse.
And one hopes for an S-Bahn stop.
In terms of time, the matter looks like that in one year the master plan has been drawn up, which is then the basis for the development plan.
The first buildings should be in place in 2026 and the first employees should go about their work here.
If the majority in the Neufahrner municipal council has its way, then that will be the case.
Many high-quality jobs on the Green Campus in Neufahrn
Attila Szalontay (AfD) asked, "What do you want to build there?", Maximilan Heumann (SPD), on the other hand, emphasized that Neufahrn needed more business.
“But not just any trade”, but one that Jost Energy AG is striving for here: ecological and innovative, with high-quality jobs.
Christopher Aichinger (FW) found it a bit more difficult: Basically, the attitude towards the project is positive, because it means “an image gain for Neufahrn”.
But it also means more traffic and new burdens for the Mintrachingers.
Admittedly, such a "great future opportunity", as Felix Bergauer (ÖDP) called the project, should not be left to the neighboring communities, according to Aichinger.
Christian Meidinger summed up the attitude of the parliamentary group of the Greens as follows: One is against sealing the landscape.
But if you give in to the pressure on the region in the way that Jost Energy AG intends to do here, if the new industrial park is implemented and sustainably developed as you have now heard, then that is the type of industrial park that " groundbreaking ”.
The topics that are important for the future are dealt with here.
Of course, one will look closely to see how the project is developing and that it is not developing in the wrong direction.
“We have been looking for and demanding such a project for 15 years,” said environmental officer Frank Bandle (Greens) enthusiastically.
Approval and tailwind also from the CSU: Ozan Iyibas highlighted the skills and good networking of Jost Energy AG, raved about the fact that everything can be bundled here “in the magic triangle” between the TU locations and the airport.
It is now a matter of a declaration of intent that issues still to be clarified, such as transport links, have to be dealt with point by point in the course of the procedure.
Skeptics: wrong location, poor connection
But there were also skeptics: Norbert Manhart (FW), for example, thought the project was forward-looking, but found the location wrong.
What if the “Green Campus” actually develops as successfully as one hopes?
Then there is no possibility of expansion on this area of twelve hectares.
And the citizens of Neufahrn were also against it: The location is wrong, the connection is not good, the community is going "a lot of money through the rags" if they sell the area to an investor, the reason should be given to local companies that give in Looking for commercial space.
The decision of the municipal council to designate a commercial campus, to advance the development of the “Green Campus” with Jost Energy AG and to prepare the land use plan change was made with a large majority: 19: 6, according to the result of the vote.
Norbert Manhart (FW), Attila Szalontay (AfD), Christa Kurzinger (CSU), Franz Eckl (FDP) and Christian Buschendorf as well as Johannes Häuser (both BfN) voted against this.
