EU funding ensures renovation of the community center in Luckenau!

In the Evangelical Community Center of Luckenau there is good news: The parish receives a financial injection of over 104,000 euros from the EU funding program "Leader". This is intended to renovate a leaky roof, which requires a complete renovation. mz.de reports that the construction work has now been recently approved by the State Office for Agriculture, Flur Air Reneration and Forests. The first construction phase is scheduled to start at the end of August of this year.

The “Leader” initiative pursues the goal of improving the quality of life in rural areas and stopping young people. This EU funding takes place via the European Agricultural Fund for the development of rural areas (ELER) and is implemented in 372 LEADER regions in Germany, where local actors develop strategies for solving specific challenges. Information on this can be found on foerdermittel-kindwert.de .

renovation work in detail

The chairwoman of the community church council, Annett Zerbel-Voigt, who lives in the community center, is happy about the upcoming changes. The roof is newly covered with stylish, natural red beaver tail tiles. In addition, a new zinc rain gutter and lightning protection are installed. The dilapidated steps to the entrance area are also renewed. In some cases, a ramp for wheelchair users or strollers is to be installed to facilitate access.

focus on rural development

This initiative is part of a larger trend that strengthens rural areas in the EU. cor.europa.eu emphasizes that local decision-makers strive to promote resistance and including rural communities. The focus is also on the integration of rural priorities in all EU policies. The success of the LEADER program is evident in strengthening local actors and cohesion within the communities.

With a clear view of the future, the parish is not only upgraded by these funding, but also set a sign for the attractiveness of life in rural areas. Projects like this make it clear that there is a lot to be moved here and that a good knack for the development of local infrastructures will benefit many.
