Local Revitalization Plans
Grants & JESSICA Initiative in ROP WR
The support both by grants and JESSICA Initiative
will concern groups (packages) of projects (so called
sub-projects) realizing aims and tasks of LRPs of a
given community, town or city.
Projects implemented with JESSICA support
should generate income (IRR>0).
How to define Integrated Projects?
Sequence of actions which aims are to
alleviate an area from its crisis condition.
It should consist of infrastructural and noninfrastructural projects which are managed by
the communities and other partners of urban
regeneration processes, funded by their own
contributions as well as other available
resources, including ROP WR.

Now It looks like this.... The Idea of „Green
Yards” – potential grant project
Or like this .....„Urban jungle” and
parking space
Typical yard ... Cars and concrete intsead
of grass and flowers
But sometimes you’ll find ....
The places like this one
TRANSFORMATION from concrete
into .... Green Yards
This is how it can look ... „Green
Path” – one of the potential sub-projects
Lot of potential small infrustructure and noninfrastructure projects for...children, youth and whole
community – the idea of open doors
Another potential JESSICA - sub-project....
Apartments, offices, jobs in green surroundings

Our main achievements so far…
•
•
•
•
Change in the way LRP is perceived by local decisionmakers – it isn’t only a bureaucratic requirement of
MA.
Change from popular in previous programming period
“apply-for-one-project” way of thinking into “create-apackage-of-projects” approach.
Long list of potential UDF’s
List of potential JESSICA projects even longer…
Main challenges to tackle
•
•
•
•
•
Potential UDF’s expect us (MA) to be flexible. The
question is how flexible can we be?
Do we (MA) have realistic expectations concerning
UDF?
Active role of MA in JESSICA - project identification
(market building).
Cities need time to understand what are the profits of
repayable resources – first reaction always negative.
We won’t make any move forward with big urban
regeneration JESSICA/grants projects without solving
state aid issues. .
Thank you for your attention
