Over two million euros for urban development in the district!
Urban development funding from the federal and state governments has provided important financial impetus in Bavaria. Again Franconian day reported, a total of 444 cities and municipalities in Bavaria benefit from this support. The focus is on the development of liveable town centers, the expansion of social infrastructure and sustainable urban development.
The Erlangen-Höchstadt district is one of the funding recipients and will receive over two million euros, which will be invested in projects for town centers and old towns. The communities within the district have the freedom to use the funds independently. This is seen as an advantage of urban development funding, as the funding guidelines are considered unbureaucratic and flexible.
Funding amounts in detail
The specific funding amounts for the individual communities in the district are as follows:
- Hemhofen: 892.000 Euro
- Höchstadt a.d. Aisch: 504.000 Euro
- Lonnerstadt: 70.000 Euro
- Röttenbach: 56.000 Euro
- Weisendorf: 69.000 Euro
State parliament member Walter Nussel emphasizes the positive effect of these funds and explains that every euro provided by the state triggers around seven euros in additional investments. This illustrates the potential of the funding not only to finance the direct projects, but also to stimulate further economic activities in the affected regions.
Goals of the programs
The programs receiving urban development funding this year are “Living Centers”, “Social Cohesion” and “Growth and Sustainable Renewal”. The goals of these programs are clearly defined: the upgrading of town centers and comprehensive urban development should be promoted.
It is important for the communities in the district to be able to decide for themselves how to use the funding. This autonomy supports them in using the funds precisely where the need for action is greatest.
In summary, it can be said that urban development funding plays a crucial role in the development of communities. The generous funding not only offers financial resources, but also the opportunity to sustainably improve the quality of life in the town centers. This is also stated on the website Erlangen-Höchstadt district administration further explained, which provides information on the use of the funding.
