Municipality of Destrnik in northeast Slovenia signed a letter of intent with Austrian companies Health Care Company and HGI Beteiligungs. The companies will acquire a stake in company Terme Gaja, which will build a spa complex, Terme Janezovci. The works on the EUR 60m spa complex are to begin next year, Destrnik Mayor Franc Puksic said on Saturday.
Puksic said talks with different potential investors were underway. The goal is to round off the negotiations within the next three months and then chose the investors which will raise additional capital and finish Janezovci Thermal Spa project according to schedule, he explained.
The municipality has already provided land for the five-start spa complex, with the building permit coming by the end of the year, Puksic added.
The Janezovci Thermal Spa project is one of 35 national development projects for 2007-2023 in total worth of EUR 24bn.
Jurij Pintar, boss of Maribor-based project consulting company Imecon, expressed satisfaction over the number or investors a municipality as small as Destrnik managed to attract and warned that Slovenia was not too open for foreign investments.
In the next few weeks, Ormoz municipality, Tovarna sladkorja Ormoz sugar plant, and engineering company Poyry Energy will sign a contract for the construction of Energy Park Ormoz, which will be built on the site of the sugar factory, Pintar said.
Slovenia's lone sugar factory, which is scrapping sugar production this year, will lease its free reservoirs to the Agency for Compulsory Oil Stocks for the storage of heating and residual fuel oil as part of the restructuring of the factory.
Destrnik municipality is thus hoping that a part of the unemployed people from the municipality will be able to find work in the Energy Park Ormoz.
