Jelgava in figures • 2019 •

Dear readers of “ in figures”!

Jelgava – a city for development – has continued its improvement as one of ’s educational, industrial and cultural centers in 2019 as well. A city that encourages business development, offers a wide range of educational opportunities, secure social environment and an active cultural life. Manufacturing and active business life is what promotes economic growth, and our city puts a lot of efforts to make every investor and entrepreneur to feel needed and welcome. By focusing on developing infrastructure, especially in industrial areas, the municipality has managed to take another step forward in arranging and adjusting the business environment, creating preconditions for the restoration of former production facilities and brownfields thus attracting private investment - the municipality has started the revitalization of industrial brownfields near , among Garozas, Prohorova and Neretas streets, foreseeing investments in the amount of 12.5 million euros. As the performance indicators of industry, wholesale and retail sectors in Jelgava remain high, increasing freight transport flow, the importance of high-quality transit roads is a priority - in 2019, the reconstruction of the Platone Bridge in Miera Street was completed, as well as large-scale reconstruction works of the Loka Highway is still in progress, thus improving the existing transit and freight transport routes. Along with the improvement of the business environment, it is crucial to develop the potential of knowledge and innovation, to keep up with the requirements of the labor market and the needs of students. In 2019, we were the first in the country to implement educational reform by optimizing the network of municipal educational institutions and determining the specialization of each school to promote high quality education. In September 2019, the students of Jelgava State Gymnasium started the new school year in a fully modernized school. Also, the stadium of Jelgava Secondary School of Technology and the sports field near Jelgava 4th Primary School were reconstructed. We are proud of our award winning buildings in the “Construction Award of the Year 2019” and “Best Building of the Year in Latvia 2019” - 1st place in the nomination "Wooden Building" - open-air concert hall "Mītava" on Pasta (Post) Island and nomination “Restoration"- renovated wooden building at Vecpilsētas Street 14, Jelgava. The city is developing and requires more and more intellectual resources – young students hungry for knowledge and willing to learn, entrepreneurs, smart and provident. Change is the driving force of development and is the key to Jelgava's success - to be able to foresee one step ahead of events, to undertake initiative and responsibility. I invite you to get acquainted with the development of the city in the latest edition of "Jelgava in numbers" for new discoveries and opportunities!

Andris Rāviņš Chairman of Jelgava City Council About Jelgava Jelgava is fourth largest city in Latvia by population and fifth by the territory. The total area is 60,3 km2 of which: - 2,72 km2 are covered by water - 1,62 km2 are covered by parks - 12,64 km2 are covered by forests

Jelgava Large Coat of Arms As approved by the National Heraldry Committee on the 24th of November, 2016, the Large Coat of Arms of Jelgava depicts two silver lions with heads looking backwards, red tongues and golden crowns, holding shield with Coat of Arms of Jelgava, standing on the silver base.

Coat of Arms Jelgava is the only city in Latvia that contains the country`s small coat of arms within its coat of arms. The city received the coat of arms at the same time as it received city rights, in 1573. Thefirst coat of arms depicted a crowned stag head on a raspberry red field; the current coat of arms contains an elk head on a crimson field.

About Jelgava In 2012 Jelgava City logo was approved. The logo is made up of a contour of an elk head and the word “Jelgava”. The large antlers symbolize the rich historical experience and value of the city.

Jelgava is the only city in Latvia, whose coat of arms also heraldically depicts the small coat of arms of the country, which makes the official symbolism of Jelgava heavy and its use solemn. For everyday use, a lighter and more attractive city logo has been created, which stylizes the elk's head and the name of the city. The large and branched horns of the Jelgava logo elk symbolize the historical value and experience of the city.

On March 20th 2012 Jelgava city logo and motto were registered in the Patent Office of the Republic of Latvia as the trademark.

The greatest value of the city of Jelgava is the people who live, study and work here - for their personal and city growth. Therefore, everyone here has the opportunity to find an area in which he wants to work, gain knowledge and skills, develop professionally and express himself creatively. These are growth opportunities from preschool to
