Thriving Raahe now and in the future Raahe is traditionally a seaport, school and industrial town. This pleasant seafront town of timber buildings has developed into an actively-growing regional hub. Construction is underway in Raahe. New houses are being built along the streets of Kauppakatu, Fellmanin puistokatu and Palokunnankatu, e.g. in the seashore area and adjacent to the old City Hall. There is a proposal to re-build an entire half a block, opposite Härkätori. The proposal includes residential accommodation, as well as business and office premises, up to a total investment value of some 20 million. The catalysts for the development of Raahe consist of its new seaport, Rautaruukki s steel manufacturing plant, wind farm projects, and the nuclear power plant project in Pyhäjoki. All of the above are supported by Raahe s forthcoming commercial seaport: Trade and Service Centre of 46 000 m² in size, located in Mettalanmäki, in Raahe, with a total investment value of 80 million! The new trade centre is perfectly suited to promote development in the Raahe region now and in the future. Positive industrial development is predicted for Raahe and its surrounding districts, which will have a clear impact on the buying power in the area, while also increasing the volume of traffic. The reformed Port of Raahe, together with the change of ownership of Rautaruukki, also indicates this. Due to its central location, the Kokkolantie junction at Mettalanmäki, leading to Highway 8 and Raahe town centre, is an excellent zone for business. The planned trade and service centre for the area - the Raahen Portti Shopping Centre will be built as a modern and unified business entity, all housed under one roof. In Mettalanmäki, a construction area of 46 000 m² has been reserved in the city plan for trade and accommodation purposes. It is proposed to build business premises to meet the needs of everyday and specialist goods trade. The higher end of the trade centre, towards Highway 8, will see the construction of hotels and office premises. Whatever your line of business, the Raahen Portti Shopping Centre truly offers the top trading spot in the region. 7
