Andrzej Kunt, mayor of Kostrzyn nad Odrą.

However, the mayor emphasizes that if the city received an attractive offer from an investor, Kostrzyn would have a problem with selecting a location for investment. “There’s simply a shortage of plots,” explains the mayor.

That is why the area where Przystanek Woodstock took place was put up for sale. The starting price for the tender offered by the city is PLN 28 million. The area will be intended for production and service development and will start in the place where the Big Stage, known to fans of the event, stood for years. Additionally, the city plans to build a road in the Woodstock area that will facilitate transport to the new development.
