Cham, September 25, 2016

*Cham approves the development of the Papieri site*

On occasion of the public voting on September 25, 2016, the Cham voters approved both proposals for the development of the Papieri site (partial change of building legislation and zoning plan with 63% yes-votes as well as development plan with 57% yes-votes).

With this, the general public has created the prerequisite to create a new, mixed residential and working district on the site of the former paper factory. For the development plan and rezoning to take legal effect, the approval of the Zug Cantonal council is still required.
