Schwalbach is planning 24 million euro investments: What's in store for us?
The municipality of Schwalbach is planning to invest over 24 million euros in a variety of projects by the end of 2026. The investment program includes around 100 measures that are to be implemented in various areas of local government. However, these ambitious plans were intensively discussed in the local council, with concerns and doubts being expressed. That's what she reported Saarbrücken newspaper about the resistance within the SPD regarding expenditure and the necessity of the individual measures.
In Schwalbach, many projects are up for grabs due to the tight budget situation. This includes, among other things, the construction of new daycare centers, the Zulus Ball event series and the staging of theater performances. These uncertainties regarding financing and planning were also expressed by the Taunus news discussed, which the Schwalbach Greens quote. They not only criticize the announcement of fee increases, but also criticize alleged poor planning in the investment proposals and address expenditure estimates that are too high and revenue estimates that are too low in the budget drafts.
Budget situation and public discussion
The Schwalbach Greens are holding an information event in the community center on Monday, February 10th at 7:30 p.m. to give citizens an insight into the 2025 budget. Interested citizens are invited to find out about the municipality's current financial situation and to submit their questions in advance by email.
It is also pointed out that Schwalbach is considered to have limited performance, particularly as a result of Samsung's departure, but is financially more stable than many other municipalities in Hesse. The Greens also note that the forecast budget deficit often does not materialize at the end of the year and that the situation is therefore somewhat less tense than originally expected.
The challenges in Schwalbach reflect the broader financial and planning issues affecting many municipalities today. It remains to be seen how the community will develop further in the context of the planned investments and public discussion.
