Waltenhofen's Lanzen District: Expansion Plans Spark Forest Preservation Battle
Plans for an industrial zone expansion in Waltenhofen's Lanzen district have sparked controversy. Locals have formed a citizens' initiative to protect a nearby forest, opposing the clearing of a section for the project.
The proposed expansion has been discussed for years, with recent plans suggesting a section of the forest in the southeast would need to be cleared. However, local residents have repeatedly voiced their opposition to this idea.
Adding to the complexity, plans for expansion northward toward Schorrenwald remain vague due to insufficient available land. Despite this, a citizens' initiative has formed to preserve the forest and has officially submitted a statement to the town hall.
The future of the industrial zone expansion and the preservation of the forest in Schorrenwald remains uncertain. The citizens' initiative continues to advocate for the protection of the forest, while the plans for expansion are still under discussion.
