Urban Greenery, Noise, Radon/2023 Part A ERDF Funding

Urban Greenery, Noise, Radon/2023 Part A ERDF Funding supports Saxon municipalities and public-law entities in measures to increase urban green spaces, effective noise protection, and sensible radon prevention. Within the framework of the ERDF/JTF program 2021–2027 of the Free State of Saxony, grants are provided for planning and engineering services, construction and execution costs, as well as specialized consulting services for radon protection. Climate protection, environmental and nature conservation, as well as energy-efficient urban development, are the focus of this funding. Applications can be submitted via the SAB funding portal until February 6, 2026. Projects must be located in a JTF region, have municipal sponsorship or a public-law legal form, and actively contribute to the improvement of the urban climate. Application documents include a detailed project description, a cost and financing plan, and proof of municipal legal status.

Evaluation is based on criteria such as the degree of innovation, sustainability and economic efficiency of the investment, as well as the effectiveness of noise protection measures. Operating costs and personnel expenses of the municipality are not eligible for funding. The goal is to reduce health risks caused by radon, decrease noise-related burdens, and sustainably enhance urban open spaces in Saxony. The funding body is the Saxon State Ministry for Energy, Climate Protection, Environment and Agriculture (SMUL), implemented by the Saxon Development Bank – Förderbank – (SAB). Interested authorities can find all information and application procedures on the SAB funding portal. By combining urban development, infrastructure, environmental and climate protection, the measure offers a tailored funding source to create livable and future-proof municipalities.
