Funding for Inner City Development / Inner City Office – Funding (City of Gera)

The downtown development program of the City of Gera supports private, commercial, public, and non-profit actors in the sustainable revitalization and modernization of the inner-city area. Within the framework of the downtown office, grants are continuously available for structural, design, and economic measures that specifically contribute to increasing attractiveness and functional diversity. A prerequisite is that the projects are located within the defined downtown area and make a clear contribution to urban and city renewal. The funding targets investments in infrastructure as well as innovative concepts for revitalizing vacancies, facade design, or creating meeting spaces.

All those who wish to actively utilize and further develop the potential of Gera's downtown are addressed: from local retail to gastronomy businesses and cultural and social projects. The aim of the funding is to create synergies between structural enhancements, urban design initiatives, and economic stability in order to establish a vibrant, future-proof downtown. The continuous application option enables flexible project implementation; interested parties can at any time obtain information about the current funding requirements from the downtown office and submit their projects. The funds provided make an important contribution to strengthening public spaces and enhancing the quality of life in Thuringia's historic city center.
