Schwesig announces investment summits for two billion euros in MV!

The economic renewal of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania picks up speed. In a recently held meeting in Berlin, 16 prime ministers, including Manuela Schwesig, the Prime Minister of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, have coordinated important key points for future investments. With a total of 1.925 billion euros, the federal state is given a new 500 million euro special assets for infrastructure. Nordkurier reports that Schwesig not only reduces existing investment in this fund, but also new projects want to toast.

A central concern of Schwesig is the renovation and modernization of schools in the country. NDR emphasizes that in addition to the educational strengthening, the modernization of daycare, sports and sports the port infrastructure is on the agenda. In this context, municipalities and counties require that a large part of the funds flows directly to the municipal level unbureaucratically and quickly in order to avoid long planning and award procedures. That would be a real profit for the quick implementation of the projects.

The association of the MV (VU) company association supports the concept of the summit and demands that the funds are strategically planned in the long term, including simple support procedures and targeted checks. "Strategically planned investments are unavoidable," emphasizes a representative of the VU, as in Welt . But not only the economy reacts to developments; The political competitors and associations also share their opinions. While the CDU in the state parliament expresses its dissatisfaction with the alleged non-participation of important actors, the Greens express their wish that 50 percent of the special funds provided are used for climate protection measures.

criticism and demands

With a clear focus on education and infrastructure, the demands come not only from the associations, but also from politics. The district council confirms that two thirds of the funds should be intended for the municipal level, especially for the renovation of streets, bridges and schools. In addition, representatives of the wind energy industry make the voice to request investments in the network infrastructure-a step that is essential for the expansion of renewable energies.

In the run -up to the summit, there is a lot of discussion and some tensions between those involved. Schwesig wants to inform the state parliament on the results of the investment summit on Wednesday and has high expectations.
