Household - Greifswald: 2024 without originally planned cuts
Greifswald can forego originally planned cuts in the 2024 budget. "This was possible because prudent budget planning and an improved economic situation in Greifswald meant that the city's finances developed better than originally expected," Mayor Stefan Fassbinder (Greens) was quoted as saying in a statement on Monday. Originally planned cuts in the areas of culture, sport, education and social affairs could therefore be canceled, according to the statement.
As recently as the summer, the administration had assumed a deficit of several million euros. On the instructions of the Schwerin Ministry of the Interior, the city had therefore drawn up a list for 2024, which, in addition to fee increases, also included cuts as possible cost-saving measures.
"Within the administration, we have scrutinized every expense this year and turned over every cent twice," explained Fassbinder. The city has also benefited from lower energy prices, higher trade tax revenues and allocations from the state. Because certain projects were delayed, expenditure was also lower. The city expects a positive annual result.
