B+ tier. German border location — A6 to Berlin. Szczecin metro 400K+ workforce. But Stargard (30km SE) already S-tier — potentially redundant unless Stargard land is constrained.

CONDITIONAL — Stargard Complement Only
B+ tier. Strategic German border location (A6 to Berlin). Szczecin metro 400K+ provides workforce. But only 30km from Stargard (S-tier primary) — potentially redundant. Evaluate only if Stargard expansion is constrained. Commission ENEA grid study. Thinx Szczecin ~15km provides fiber.
