Federally funded gains for Landkreis Börde, totalling over €132 million directed towards infrastructure development.
The district of Börde is set to receive a significant investment package of 131,952,259 euros from the federal government's special fund for infrastructure and climate protection. This announcement was made by Landrat Martin Stichnoth, the person responsible for regional management in the Landkreis Börde.
The funds will be used for numerous projects in road construction, schools, sports facilities, civil protection, and digitalization. The focus on these areas is new information, marking a significant shift in the district's development plans.
The decisions on how to allocate these funds within the district will be made jointly with the district council, as previously mentioned. Approximately 60% of the funds, amounting to approximately 1.57 billion euros, will be allocated directly to municipalities.
The distribution of these funds is based on population and area, with financially weak municipalities receiving a bonus. This ensures that the funds are distributed equitably and that those in most need benefit the most.
Landrat Martin Stichnoth stated that the goal is to make the most out of every euro for the citizens of the district of Börde. He also emphasized that the investments are intended to strengthen the region sustainably. The funds provide the basis for tackling urgently needed investments, but they do not suffice to fully cover all pressing projects.
The state government of Saxony-Anhalt, along with municipal associations, has determined the distribution of 2.61 billion euros from the federal government. The investment package for Börde is just a part of this larger allocation.
Dipl.-Ing. Angelika Fricke, the district administrator, will work alongside Landrat Martin Stichnoth to oversee the implementation of these projects. The total amount of funds allocated to the district of Börde for these projects is not specified in this paragraph.
Landrat Martin Stichnoth also stated that the funds are a strong signal for the region. He expressed his hope that the investments will bring about positive changes and improvements for the citizens of Börde.
