Hungary gives away 800 properties to villages: opportunities for small communities!
As part of the Hungarian Village Program, the Hungarian government plans to provide comprehensive support to settlements with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants. This initiative was announced on Friday by the Hungarian Ministry of Economy and is expected to play an important role in addressing local challenges. According to the MTI news agency, the government has around 800 unused properties at its disposal that are to be transferred to the municipalities free of charge.
The properties provided include a variety of forms, including closed post offices, former savings cooperative branches, and apartments and houses. In addition, buildings can be used that can be made suitable for residential purposes. These measures aim to promote local development in difficult settlements through the direct use or sale of the properties.
Focus on local solutions
The Hungarian government is thus showing a strong social interest in solving local problems. The Ministry of Economy emphasizes that the provision of these unused properties is an effective step to improve the quality of life in rural areas. The properties are to be made available as part of a draft law that will soon be submitted to Parliament.
The initiative is a further attempt to increase the attractiveness of small settlements and stabilize their population numbers. By providing free real estate, new developments can be initiated and existing challenges can be addressed. The selection of around 800 properties has already been made in order to specifically address the needs of the affected communities.
The program is a response to the growing need to revitalize rural areas in Hungary and strengthen their infrastructure. By developing these resources, the government expects to significantly improve living conditions for people in the affected settlements.
