Why does the LCC exist and what will the future bring?
The LCC is a holistic regional development project for the entire Kronach district. Since its official launch with the establishment of the LCC municipal company in 2020, much has already happened. Additional momentum comes from the LCC Foundation, which was established in 2021.
