Founders of Initiativ Vest: a creator of ideas for western Norway
The County Committee in Vestland his degradation of Hordfast is a fall for central power and a threat to the future of the West.
Why should we be forced to choose between life and health, on the one hand, and business and social development, on the other?
We fully understand the need to racially secure the E16 and build a functional and safe E39
north. Hordfast, however, is much more than a bridge over the Bjørna Fjord.
It is about building bridges between people.
It’s about building western Norway together for future-oriented housing and labor markets.
As a result of the decision, the devastating fight against tears continues. Instead, Westland should face central power.

Can you straighten us out, county mayor?

Is ours We hope that on May 12, the County Council will look up and send a clear message to the power elite that it is now the turn of western Norway.
We hope you see the importance of being together in western Norway, and of thinking as pioneers and in the long term.
Let’s build western Norway together. Let’s build Norway together. This is what Hordfast and Rogfast are all about: connecting nearly a million people who can build the business and jobs of the future. It succeeds in western Norway, succeeds Norway.
