“Suddenly the excavators rolled in”: those who had not yet heard about it on the local “floor radio” felt overwhelmed when they looked out their windows: they started in front of the eyes of the residents of Blumau-Neurißhof (lower Austria).
Apparently the market town of Sollenau (Wiener Neustadt) not only separates the district border from Blumau-Neurißhof (Baden). There was virtually no prior community exchange on the plan to build a massive waste sorting facility. “The fact that construction negotiations had already taken place was only discovered via a public announcement on the homepage of the Lower Austrian state government,” René Klimes, mayor of Blumau-Neurißhof, must inform his concerned and surprised citizens.
