St. Veit/Glan fights with deficit: Mayor demands savings!
The municipality of St. Veit/Glan faces financial challenges after a net result of around -4,750,000 euros was found in the estimate. The financing budget also shows red numbers with minus 3,030,000 euros. Mayor Martin Kulmer is concerned about the situation: "High transfer payments, higher wage costs and interest rate loads at the same time stagnating income considerably restrict the financial scope." Despite a positive surgical result of 127,400 euros, low growth in the earnings shares for 2025 is expected, which is questionable in view of the economic forecasts, such as reported.
To compensate for monetary bottlenecks, fee increases in the areas of water, wastewater and waste disposal are necessary to cover the running costs. Kulmer explains: "It is not easy for us to strain the wall pockets of the citizens - but it is essential to maintain the usual services for the St. Veiter." The budget volume for investments in 2025 is around 11 million euros, including the construction of 40 residential units in Grillparzerstrasse with an estimated cost of around 12 million euros. The renovation of Anton-Reichel-Straße also receives 675,000 euros. Investments of 72,200 euros for a new multi-purpose vehicle and another 570,000 euros for a all-wheel drive fire engine are planned for the volunteer fire brigade.
In addition, 310,000 euros will be estimated for the purchase of a garbage trolley and 80,000 euros for the partial renovation of glass roofing at Duke Bernhard Platz. 135,000 euros are provided for the equipment of the Funcourt on Weyerfeld. The current financial situation forces the city to break new ground in order to successfully implement the diverse projects without making additional pressure, as Leo.org describes.
