In October 2009, the idea of expanding and renewing central Bara began to take shape under the project name "New Bara." In short, the idea consists of "investments in housing, a completely new cityscape, commercial premises, services, new infrastructure and spectacular leisure attractions. In December 2010, a new multi-sports hall (Kuben) was inaugurated as part of this project. Since then, 60 rental apartments have been built in the so-called "New Bara" and a total of over 1000 rental and residential apartments and villas are planned. On 14 February 2011 construction began on a new school in Bara. The name has not yet been determined.[3]
South of Bara lies a PGA golfcourse. It was introduced by Annika Sörenstam on 12 June 2009.[4]
