The study will have several stages, including discussions with the public, municipalities and the like. It will take several months,” said Čížek.
At the same time, he said the region is not currently processing any additional or new materials needed for Volkswagen.

Government resolutions are critical,” admitted Hynek Brom, project coordinator for the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.
However, it was after an in-depth study that the mayors of the municipalities around Líní called. They wanted the document to respond to how the gigafactory will affect the landscape, residents’ lives, infrastructure and other areas. “Unfortunately that was to be expected. It can’t be done in such a short time,” complained Martin Sobotka (Aktivní Dobřany), who leads the Dobřany.
Volkswagen is also evaluating locations in Poland and Hungary. If he eventually chooses the country, he will want to start building the first part of the factory as early as 2024. This is an investment of 120 billion crowns.
