Visions of Glomfjord's bright future

After the stat bought the powerplant in 1918, it seemed that Glomfjord had a bright future. The famous architects Christian. Morgenstierne and Arne Eide designed a town for as many as 6,000 inhabitants. The town should have a church. schools. business districts, hotels and residential areas. It was imagined that visitors would come from far and wide to view what was described as the new Rjukan.

Engineer
The magazine "Det Nordlige Norge" also went to great lengths to describe Glomfjord's coming golden age:

"A city with thousands of inhabitants is being created. Where before there was only a footpath leading to the field, there will now be a paved street, and there will be a tramway from the docks and up to the town, winding its way between the houses. This will take the workers from the city to the factories, which will be a little further out by the beach, and the travelers who come to the place with the local ships or “Hurtigruten”, will be dispersed by the train throughout the city to GrandHotell, Hotell Ekselsior or Fønix. Up in the mountains there will be a station for airships. Mail and passengers are sent to and from the airship station with an elevator. It is the new Northern Norway that is being created in miniature, but it will be big and mighty."
 
Worker
yes, I believe it when I see it. Can you tell me what happened to this big and "mighty" city you were talking about?
 
Engineer
Will, things don't always go 100% according to plan..
 
Worker
Yeah, that’s for sure 
 
Engineer
Regardless….
In the first construction phase, housing construction was concentrated in Glomen. The idea of ​​Bernt Lund, the plant manager at the time, was that the industrial plants should be built at Haugvik, while the workers should live in Glomen free from annoying smoke and noise.
 
Worker
Yes, the workers' housing at Jæra turned out great, but can you tell me where the tram went?
  
Engineer
The large-scale city plans were unfortunately scrapped due to the recession and crisis in world trade. The plans were thus halted. Nevertheless, it should be mentioned that the Tram route was started and that it can still be seen south and south-west of Nordhaugen.
 
Worker
"Phew!, recession…."
