PiispanPysäkki has received EU rural development funding from the Kainuu ELY Centre, whose duties are now handled by the Kainuu Centre for Economic Development. The funding partly makes it possible for the village to stay vibrant! Project name: Expanding and developing the activities of PiispanPysäkki:
Bishop's Stop is a versatile service point, and its location right along Highway 5 is attractive and easily accessible. The service point operates year-round, and the opening hours cater to customers' needs. The company keeps the village vibrant, increases the availability of services, and promotes tourism. It organizes various events that enliven the area and make not only the village but the whole municipality more interesting. Opportunities for community activities, exercise, and other activities increase people's overall well-being. The company wants not only to make its business more efficient and profitable but also to increase and maintain local services by continuing its village shop operations and fuel distribution as part of the project.
