Hope for tennis in Salzburg: New edition of halls and facilities is imminent!

In Köstendorf in Flachgau there is light at the end of the tunnel for tennis fans! The construction of a new tennis center with four indoor places is planned to replace the dilapidated structures. According to the Salzburg tennis association, a funding commitment from the federal government will be serviced in order to quickly advance the project. Managing Director Jörg Eberhardt emphasizes the importance of these new capacities for the tennis academies and schools in the region, as there has been a decline in indoor places by 40 percent in the past 15 years.

financing and revitalization in focus

However, in order to be able to implement the planned tennis hall in Köstendorf, there is still no massive sum of about half a million euros. Overall, the costs amount to around 2.6 million euros, as Mayor Wolfgang Wagner explains. The decision on the funding, which is crucial for the project start, is expected from Vienna by the end of the year. In recent years, however, tennis in Salzburg has experienced an impressive boom: the number of members has increased by 2.5 to 3.5 percent, which reflects the unbroken enthusiasm, says Eberhardt. If the project does not come about, the situation in Salzburg could become even more critical, since half of the places are deleted in Anif, which increases the urgency of the financing. Also alternative solutions such as air -air halls could also be part of the answer in the future to relieve the tense capacities, as the existing one shows in Gnigl, as orfg.at reports . A rethink is essential to regain the lost places.

Neither in Salzburg nor in the surrounding communities such as gneiss are clear the future prospects of the tennis systems. The partners' partners have teamed up to participate in the costs and to support the vision of a new tennis center. But without the urgently needed funding, the large project quickly becomes a dream. As krone.at reports , the hope of the upcoming decision in Vienna could change everything. In Köstendorf you can see the end of the year expectantly, because then it is decided whether the plans will become a reality or have to move further into the background.
