Editing Włocławek (section)

===Recent period===
The most important industries in Włocławek today are [[chemical industry]], production of [[furniture]], and [[food processing]]. The [[dam]] which was constructed in 1969 regulates the water level of the [[Vistula river]], forming [[Włocławek Reservoir]]. From 1975 to 1999, the city was the capital of the [[Włocławek Voivodeship]].

The Catholic [[Priesthood (Catholic Church)|priest]] Fr. (now [[Beatification|Blessed]]), [[Jerzy Popiełuszko]], who was associated with the workers' and trade union movement [[Solidarity (Polish trade union)|Solidarity]], and who was also a member of the opposition to the Communist regime in Poland, was tortured and murdered by three [[Security Police]] officers, and was thrown into the Włocławek Reservoir, close to the city. His body was recovered from the reservoir on 30 October 1984.

From 2012 the city is part of the Special Economic Zone - Włocławek Economic Development Area – Industrial and Technological Park with tax-free areas and incentives for investors.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.wloclawek.pl/strefa |title=W這c豉wska Strefa Rozwoju Gospodarczego - Park Przemys這wo-Technologiczny |access-date=17 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130529204010/http://www.wloclawek.pl/strefa/ |archive-date=29 May 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
