Summary/Abstract: The article, based on the so called basic research, concerns the relations between the expansion of the Opole power station and particular actions taken by the residents of the Dobrzeń Wielki commune. The text discusses local, bottom-up strategies designed with the use of the potential economic situation resulting from a major industrial investment located in the region. They take the form of various cultural activities, among which bottom-up economic strategies are crucial. The impulses for these activities are supplied by specifically targeted social changes taking place under the influence of supra-local political and economic transformations.
