50 million euros since 2022
The Ministry for Regional Development and Housing launched the State SIQ 2022 for the first time: 72 municipalities have since received funding totaling 50 million euros. It follows on from the federal government's program of the same name, which expired in 2020. Since then, it has supplemented the program landscape of Baden-Württemberg's urban development funding . The funds are in high demand: by the end of the application period, the Ministry for Regional Development and Housing had received a total of 81 applications from cities and municipalities. The investment pact is thus six times oversubscribed this year.
"Our funding program has once again met with great interest. This shows the immense needs of the municipalities. I am very pleased that after the federal government discontinued the successful federal-state investment pact for social integration in the neighborhood, we have found a good solution for Baden-Württemberg and have been able to offer this program as a further developed state-owned investment pact since 2022. With this funding, we are setting impulses for future-oriented urban development," said the minister.
Preservation and creation of new meeting places
The goals of the state SIQ are to maintain and create new meeting places in town centers and neighborhoods. This could be the construction of a new community center, a daycare center or a library, but also the renovation of existing facilities or the improvement of central green and open spaces. Municipalities that are included in the state's urban development funding program could submit an application. The prerequisite is that the facility is located in an area of ??urban renewal and that the measure is implemented as quickly as possible. The financial aid can be claimed within four years.
"The applications were again very diverse this year and it shows the thematic breadth that we cover with our state program. Among the 29 projects this year are many open spaces and green areas that are also to be redesigned in the spirit of climate resilience. But we can also support numerous community centers, libraries and centrally located daycare centers with state funds," said the minister.
