History
A site purchased in 2017 by the State of Fribourg
The State has transferred ownership to the Etablissement cantonal de promotion foncière (ECPF), which is responsible for developing and enhancing the site.
With its 27.7 hectares of business park, including a large proportion of protected buildings and surrounded by almost 100 hectares of agricultural land, it offers interesting development prospects and has been chosen to become the benchmark campus for agrifood and biomass in Switzerland, in close partnership with Grangeneuve.
The development of the site envisages an industrial site without motorized traffic in its center, with centralized parking in a parking lot shared by all the companies.
The silo parking lot will be an integral part of a mobility platform at the eastern entrance to the site, which will function as the main gateway for motorized traffic, public transport, deliveries and soft mobility; only soft mobility will then be able to enter the site.
