Good practice case study
Trångsviksbolaget AB, Trångsviken, Sweden
Trångsviken is a small community in the in the region of Jämtland situated between the town of Östersund and the alpine centre of Åre, at the shore of the great lake Storsjön. In 2000 the community established Trångsviksbolaget AB, a market based but largely community-owned company to act as a partner in the development of the village and its surrounding area.
The village now has the highest rate of entrepreneurs in the county (compared to the population) and the village population is constantly increasing – a reverse trend compared to the similar villages in the mid and northern Sweden.
