📋 Tender Overview
This year the building ministry has made available a one-off 100 million euros for the special fund Revitalize inner cities. The funds are used to support cities markets and municipalities in strengthening and maintaining their town centers. Construction minister Kerstin Schreyer has now handed over the first funding notices The city of Schwandorf is receiving 640000 euros for the redesign of an inner-city recreation area. We support them in revitalizing and strengthening the city center. The corona pandemic and the lockdown have exacerbated the already difficult situation in numerous inner cities and town centers in some cases drastically. Schreyer I am glad that we in Bavaria have powerful funding programs for urban and local development. Urban development funding has been a successful project for 50 years. With the special fund Revitalizing Inner Cities we use them to meet current challenges in the municipalities. Because we have to revitalize the inner cities. I will continue to work for the affected industries and the city centers. Schwandorfs Lord Mayor Andreas Feller on the project The funding initiative Revitalize Inner Cities supports us actively in the construction of open public spaces above the roofs of Schwandorf. A mixed sports relaxation and event zone is being created on two unused levels on the roof of the Naabparkhaus which is embedded in an attractive green space design. We are thus creating an interesting meeting place for citizens. The diverse range of offers also addresses young people in particular in order to offer the opportunity for a lively and diverse coexistence in order to strengthen and further develop our inner city. A vacancy will fill with LIFE and invite you to take a short break in the heart of the city of Schwandorf. The building ministry announced in July which municipalities would benefit from the special fund. After these municipalities have submitted applications for funding the funds can now be approved. Its great to see that the communities are now starting to implement their projects said Schreyer. If we want to know what the inner city of the future will look like we have to think through all areas from architecture and traffic to art and culture to retail and gastronomy. The topic is more topical than ever and it is now up to us whether Corona might even become an opportunity for the city centers.
