“A big wish that we hear from parents again and again is a lower school, so that our students don’t have to commute to Wels, Ried or Dachsberg,” said Pachner. The revitalization of the city center with the support of city marketing and vacancy management is just as important as the expansion of the cycle path network. Specifically for 2023, a photovoltaic offensive on public buildings and the establishment of an energy community are on the agenda. Investments must also be made in expensive infrastructure projects (canal, water) and blackout precautions.
