Fire brigade St. Goarshausen: € 1.2 million funding for new building approved!

A gratifying communication for the St. Goarshausen fire brigade: State Secretary Daniel Stich from the Ministry of the Interior announced during a visit to the Loreley community that a funding of 1.2 million euros was promised for the new fire station. This amount is important support, since the total costs of the construction project are estimated at 2.4 million euros. This not only receives the urgently needed funds, but also confirmation of the need for the project.

The Mayor of Loreley, Mike Weiland, formulated his joy about the positive feedback and the promised state funding. This is followed by a funding application that was submitted in March 2024. The promise of the early construction and measures to start means that the work can begin soon as soon as all permits are available. The last visit to the location with the member of the state parliament Roger Lewentz and other responsible people illustrated the commitment that is behind this project.

required permits and planning

Although the anticipation is great for construction, some bureaucratic hurdles still have to be overcome. The building permit from the district administration is still pending, which is why the start of construction for the time being is long in coming. Weiland emphasized that delays in approval practice can lead to increasing costs, which potentially influences the funding level. So far, the municipality has already invested a lot of work in preparation in order to meet all requirements of the supervisory and approval authorities.

on site in St. Goarshausen have already been presented in the first plans that explain the future processes and the design of the new fire station in detail. This presentation took place under the critical eyes of those present who showed great interest in the progress. A modern equipment of the fire station is focused in the planning, which is ideal for both missions and training courses of the firefighters.

In addition, Weiland emphasized the importance of funding. "Every delay can be expensive, especially because the funding does not increase once the budget is set," said the mayor. He is optimistic that all the necessary steps can be completed promptly to start the construction work.

A gratifying development is that a personal appeal by Mayor Weiland announced the funding provider after the summer break that the additional costs incurred for the expansion are also funded. These measures, which include the demolition of a former nursery and the securing of the slope area, are necessary to prepare the terrain for the new building.

The estimated total costs for the expansion are now around 6 million euros, which brings tense financial framework for the project. A further funding of 50 % of the costs is sought here. The support of the funding authorities therefore remains of central importance for the implementation of the new building and ensuring the operational readiness of the St. Goarshausen fire brigade.

In summary, progress in this project not only shows the need and urgency of a new fire station in St. Goarshausen, but also the commitment of everyone involved. "We hope to start the first clearance this year to start the actual construction at the beginning of next year," concluded Weiland and military leader Dirk Jacoby. The support from the state government will undoubtedly make a valuable contribution to the success of this important project, as Ben-kurier.de reports .
