Summary/Abstract: Local economic development is one of the most important spheres of commune activities. Communes operate on their own and independently of other public authorities while realizing their tasks. One of them is attraction of new investments. The article discusses theoretical grounds in the field of the location factors of economic activity and depicts a proposal of new classification of those factors. The empirical part shows the role of commune government in the local economic policy connected with the attraction of new investments. There are also considerations on the real possibilities of attraction of new investments by communes in Poland.
