Description
The immediate program "Perspective Downtown!" supports public institutions in Lower Saxony in quickly revitalizing downtown areas following the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The program is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) as part of the EU's response to the pandemic. Municipalities that have been allocated a budget under the ERDF immediate program can apply for grants for projects that can be implemented in the short term in the fields of urban development & urban renewal, digitalization, climate protection, infrastructure, and energy efficiency. The goal is to create new usage and stay qualities in the city center, strengthen digital infrastructure, and promote ecological measures to counteract ongoing decline.
In Visselhövede, the city is implementing various measures together with the municipality of Neuenkirchen, such as the creation of a multifunctional room with an accessible restroom facility, the expansion of a motorhome parking area "Zu den Visselwiesen," as well as a visual enhancement of the city center under the motto "Vissel becomes more attractive." Interested municipal administrations in Lower Saxony that have the allocated ERDF budget can apply within the program to develop and implement innovative concepts for downtown development. The funding is particularly aimed at municipalities planning short-term measures that wish to make a sustainable contribution to regional economic promotion and climate protection.
