Joddböle V zoning plan in Inkoo approved

The Inkoo Municipal Council has approved the Joddböle V zoning plan, which guides the land use of the Joddböle industrial area. Blastr, the landowners in the Joddböle area, and the Municipality of Inkoo have also signed a land use agreement, which agrees on the allocation of costs related to the implementation of the zoning plan.

The plan also allows for other industrial activities alongside the steel mill, with the potential to utilise Blastr's operational side streams. Next, Blastr's Inkoo project will move to the permitting phase, where Blastr will apply for environmental, water, and building permits for the project.

“The development of the Joddböle industrial area is important to us and other actors in the area. We have cooperated in good faith, and I believe that together, we have created a solid foundation for the responsible and sustainable implementation of the project,” said Antti Kaikkonen, Blastr's Country Manager for Finland.

In April 2025, the Finnish government decided to allocate €6 million to strengthen the growth and investment conditions in the Inkoo area through selected infrastructure investments.

“Blastr's project is significant both regionally and nationally. It is encouraging that the government recognizes the potential of the Joddböle industrial area as an engine for sustainable growth,” Kaikkonen stated.
