Of the total subsidy, 152 billion forints will go to the local government of Nyíregyháza, as they are coordinating the development of the industrial park, while the remaining 40 billion forints will be used by various public utility companies to build the infrastructure necessary for the operation of the plants and service facilities. The press tour organised by the local government of Nyíregyháza consisted of three stops: it began next to the Boysen plant, which is already under construction, and ended at the planned OPUS TITÁSZ substation – the intermediate stop was the area where an exit from the M3 motorway may be built in the near future.

Dr. Ferenc Kovács stressed before the tour of the South Industrial Park that the experts and the machines are working continuously in the South Industrial Park, and the Boysen is already planning to start trial production this autumn.
