In Thuringia, 31 municipalities are to receive around nine million euros in urban development funding from the state. There were 124 applications for the six state funding programs, and the municipalities can now apply for money for 34 projects, as announced by the Thuringian State Administration Office on Monday. The funding programs include urban redevelopment or adjustments in the course of demographic change in rural areas.
According to the ministry, the total amount of applications submitted amounted to around 45 million euros. "This shows how great the need is in the Free State," it said in a statement. The allocated nine million euros will now initially be reserved for the selected municipalities. However, the money still has to be applied for and then approved.
