Whilst discussing the finance plan for 2009-12, the town council in Drammen municipality decided on a long-term commitment to development the Fjell town district up until 2020. The commitment has a high priority in the municipality. One of the aims is to create a new town district centre, where municipal services and activities, as well as resource mobilisation amongst the local population, can contribute to making Fjell an attractive and lively town district by 2020.
The construction projects that are covered by this competition mostly consist of achieving this aim. They represent the main part of the development and modernisation of the town district's central areas and will be a significant contribution to characterising the future Fjell.
