%X For large infrastructure projects that take place in remote locations where the human capital is not there to supply all the workers, it leads to mass influx of workers. The social impacts the workers can have on a community need to be investigated prior to the project in the environmental and social impact assessment. Failure to do this thoroughly, can leave a community in a situation where the influx leads to many negative impacts during the construction but most importantly after. The influx of workers for the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link has created economic growth in the area. This current bloom is being met with positivity. However this paper found that the main concern about the influx of workers is how the community will be affected once everyone leaves. There are some plans in place to keep some economic activity. Currently the local experience is that they are being shut off from the project and the integration of the workers is limited. The local community would prefer it if the workers could get integrated through local events and activities and potentially stay in the region as it is primarily an elderly population and is in need of taxpaying workers.
