Brief description of how the sustainability of the project result will be guaranteed after the completion of the project

The sustainability of the project after its implementation is demonstrated through three dimensions of sustainability: financial, institutional and at the decision-making level. The municipality with its budget guarantees the financial sustainability of the project, as planned.

Operating costs and maintenance costs will be covered from higher fees from the fees of entrepreneurs entering the Zone. Considering that a larger number of employees is planned in the Zone itself (inhabitants of the Municipality), part of the costs will be covered from higher revenues from income tax and employee surtax.

Institutional sustainability is ensured by the holder, the municipality of Pisarovina, which has experience in managing such infrastructure investments. In addition, sustainability is ensured by the Zagreb County Regional Development Agency as a support institution for the accommodation of entrepreneurs in entrepreneurial zones.

Sustainability at the decision-making level will be ensured through the demonstration of good practice in providing services to entrepreneurs, which may result in additional support programs by the Zagreb County related to the development of entrepreneurship in the territory of the Municipality.
