Carinthia fits 1.35 billion euros: Future projects for everyone!

The Carinthian state government, under the leadership of the SPÖ, is planning investments of over 1.35 billion euros in construction projects for 2025, which should benefit people in the region directly. Governor Peter Kaiser presented the details of this comprehensive building investment program, which includes both building and civil engineering and infrastructural measures. This corresponds to an increase in the construction studio by 217 million euros compared to the previous year, such as Kleinezeitung.at reported.

An essential part of the investments is the completion of the local kindergarten in Krumpendorf. This measure illustrates the state government's focus on affordable living and ensuring basic needs. A total of over 252 million euros will be invested in building construction, while around 64 million euros are planned for the quality increase in the KABEG hospitals. These investments aim to secure jobs and promote prosperity in Carinthia, Klick-kaernten.at

economic stability and infrastructure

Governor Peter Kaiser emphasizes the positive effect of these measures on the economy. Investments should ensure stability and employment in particular in the construction industry. Vice Mayor Manfred Bacher supports the vision of a strong, social Carinthia and emphasizes important topics, such as secure care in hospitals, the expansion of public transport, the safe power supply and the affordable living space.

In addition, considerable funds from public companies such as ÖBB and ASFINAG flow into the construction project that together provide over 878 million euros. The backdrop for these investments has been created annually since 2018 by a cooperation between the state of Carinthia, the Chamber of Commerce and the ARGE construction industry. ktn.gv.at explains that a more detailed overview of the building investment volume of the public sector is created in Carinthia.

claims and challenges

While the investments are welcomed, there are also critical voices. Team Carinthia boss Gerhard Köfer calls for a “target-actual comparison” to evaluate the construction work and indicates the importance of private investments. He criticizes the slow approval procedures and calls for a reduction in bureaucracy, which is seen as an inhibition of future investments.

Overall, the extensive building investment program is viewed as a decisive step towards the long -term development of Carinthia, both in terms of economic stability and to improve the quality of life for the population.
