St. Wendel: Construction projects in danger - urban development on the brink!

An unexpected setback for urban development in St. Wendel! The Saarland's top building authority has stopped the plans for the new development area on Steyler Hang. The reason is massive concerns about the residential area that the city wanted to show. The authority finds that the city is planning a lot more living space than is actually required. A damper for the ambitious construction projects!

Mayor Peter Klär (CDU) remains optimistic and combative. "St. Wendel has to grow," he explains, announcing that the city administration now wants to reduce other construction areas such as Lanzenberg and Plantagenweg/Schrotborn. The opposition, led by SPD parliamentary group leader Marc André Müller, does not let go of the administration's information policy sharply. Müller accuses the city of having already pointed out the problems in February.

ambitious investor projects in danger?

In the background it continues: A group around the Kreissparkasse St. Wendel and the architectural firm Giarrizzo plans to convert the mission house into a hotel. However, it remains to be seen whether these plans are stalling. In its next meeting, the city council will be advised on the adaptation of the land use plan. The future of the new building area and the investor projects is on the brink!
