The project of Isfahan Printing & Publishing Park was stopped.

According to Iran Printing and Packaging News Agency, Hojatoleslam Habib Reza Arzani referring to the project of Isfahan Printing & Publishing Park stated. " The project of Isfahan Printing & Publishing Park was a detailed one. Three locations including before Gaz and Borkhar, Sepahan Shahr, and beside the Jay Industrial Park were proposed. Some people said that some of these locations were not selected based on a specialized study of geographical aspect and the wind blow."

He added, "The project of Isfahan Printing & Publishing Park is stopped at present. It was hard for some people active in printing and publishing to leave the city in the current economic conditions and move to the park. On the whole, we left the decision to the active business people of printing and publication in order to reach an agreement on the location based on their expertise experience, but we follow up the subject."  

The director general of Isfahan Islamic Culture and Guidance said, "Some people who were in the industrial park suggested the others join them; there were some pieces of land there which were not in the hand of industrial park. In order to assign them to the park, we should get the approval of some authorized bodies in several committees."

Referring to the fact that the publishing and printing houses have not reached the final conclusion yet, he said, "Considering that the neighboring provinces count on Isfahan as the reference point, it was preferable that the specialized park was established. At the moment, the problem we are facing is that many have invested and built a factory there."

Arzani noted, "Now the factory is flourishing and is well-known. People believe that if the park is created, given the downturn in the market, who buys their premise and equipment which is a controversial issue."
