Helsa's mayor presents challenging household for 2025!

Mayor Andreas Schönemann (SPD) recently presented the draft budget for 2025 of the Helsa municipality, which has a total volume of 14 million euros. As HNA remains tense, but Schönemann is still optimistic and pleading for composition Community. There are reasonably positive news about basic taxes: Despite the difficult circumstances, Helsa plans to reduce the rates of the lifting tax for property tax A and B. This is intended to drop the sets from 400 to 340 and for built-up plots from 700 to 550 points for agricultural and forestry areas, which could generate additional income of 1.26 million euros.

However, the municipality must expect a deficit of around 190,000 euros and plans to compensate for it by reserves. In addition, the debt is 6.7 million euros. Investments of around 2.2 million euros will be provided next year, including for a new deep well and the fire brigade. In this context, a planned expansion of the municipal kindergarten in Eschenstruth, which was also presented by Schönemann. According to schoenemann-fuer-helsa.de , the kindergarten will be expanded by 1.3 million euros in order to be able to offer sufficient places for all families. Part of the financing comes from funding of 500,000 euros from village development.

The feasibility study for the expansion shows that this measure not only fulfills a mandatory task, but also represents an important long -term investment in the future of the municipality. The building application is now being tackled because the approval is a prerequisite for receiving the funding. The kindergarten places should meet the increasing demands of families, even if Schönemann points out that a complete coverage of future needs may require another kindergarten.
