The Maja corporation's parking and service facility, which will provide new jobs for more than 100 people, has opened near the site of Auschwitz Concentration Camp.

The governor of Małopolska province has also paid 2,000,000 zloty damages to the corporation as compensation for suspending construction for five years. During a trial that lasted for that period, courts at various levels of the Polish judicial system ruled that Maja did not break any laws and that the governor of Bielsko province acted improperly when he suspended construction in March 1996 on the grounds of violations of the building code.
