In addition, we leave three aisles of the pressing plant building, i.e. about 30 percent of the entire huge production hall. We want to create a mixed space there: gastronomic and cultural. We also dream of reviving a motoring museum in the estate. We have many souvenirs that can be presented there – assured Anna Watkowska, member of the OKAM City management board and project leader of the FSO Park estate.
