Dear readers of “Jelgava in figures”

We, inhabitants of Jelgava, altogether create today of our city. I believe that the strength of Jelgava is in ability to set clear aims and to work hard in any given situation. Appealing urban and work environment, organized daily life and kindergartens, schools and social support program – we together are interested to ensure long-term development of our city. To be able to do everything mentioned, we have to have huge intellectual potential, that’s why the education always has been one of our main priorities. We also have to have active interaction between entrepreneurs and science. Creation and use of innovations in business is today’s question of survival. It creates new working places in the city and attracts financial investors in private sectors, especially in manufacturing industry that comes with high added value. For new business projects, which results in new working places, Jelgava city implements Open Door policy. In Jelgava, we have created premises to support successful investor’s entry and development of new businesses. Within assessment of international business development experts, taking in consideration 8 criteria, Jelgava is the most perspective city for business in Baltic region.

As the most important projects that have realised in 2017 we have to mention reconstruction of the street cover in the section of Atmodas Street from Dobeles high way till Dambja Street and in the section of Rūpniecības Street from Filozofu Street till Tērvetes Street. Project was realised within the framework of the National Highway Fund Programme. Also the project of street cover reconstruction and further development of the industrial area providing its effective functioning in Rubeņu road and Loka maģistrāle, until the administrative border of the city.

In 2017 we have started important projects – Development of water supply services in Jelgava; 5th part of Jelgava State Gymnasium reconstruction; Jelgava city hospital reconstruction and Pils island infrastructure development for promotion of tourism and health activities, as well as other cross – border projects.

Every day we can see that inhabitants of Jelgava are becoming more confident and are proud to be associated with our city – actively participating in social life, 2 expressing their opinion and creating, realizing ideas that give our city new opportunities for the future! This is the force of Jelgava we have to use! I welcome you to read more about the development of Jelgava in the latest edition of “Jelgava in figures”!
