New life in Hermagor's city center: Essl factory will be living space for everyone!

Hermagor, Österreich - in Hermagor something is exciting: the old ESL factory that has been standing for years is facing new use. With clear goals and broad support, the former industrial area is converted into a lively residential area. Embedded in the planning are not only single -family houses, but also social institutions, which should particularly appeal to people with disabilities and older citizens. Gailtal-Journal reports that the "Landeswohnbau Carärnten" and the Hermagor Social Welfare Association have signed a letter of intent with the family of owners.

Support also comes from state residential construction officer Gaby Schaunig and social officer Beate Prettner, who advocate the project. In addition, the SPÖ Hermagor plans to contribute an initiative application to the local council. The vision is clear: a place of residence is to be created that offers affordable living space and barrier -free living.

a place for everyone

The planned facilities are diverse: in addition to apartments, a day care center and social rooms are also considered to connect to the retirement home. This infrastructure should not only create living space, but also become a place of social warmth. Vice Mayor Roland Jank actively campaigns for the project and emphasizes the importance of the cooperation between the state, district and the community in order to effectively counter the challenges of the housing shortage in the district.

"Having a good hand" for the development of a sustainable concept is required here. At the same time, the SPÖ Hermagor underlines the need to have discussions with all factions in the local council in order to secure broad support for the ambitious project

With initiatives at the state level, which also have an eye on young people and low -income families, it can be seen that the topic of housing promotion is currently of great intensity. [BauPortal NRW] (https://bauportal.nrw/informations-zur-oowlichtlichtichter-wäbfo- Foerung) emphasizes that municipal programs are increasingly adapted to the specific needs of the respective communities. These funding can be used for both the new building and the renovation of existing apartments.

Various funding programs are also available at the federal level to support social housing. The social housing has a variety of options that range from the KfW banking group to European funding. These programs are crucial to realize innovative and social living concepts and thus make a contribution to the quality of life in the communities.

The conversion of the ESSL factory into Hermagor embodies the potential of a project that not only creates a living space, but also promotes social interaction. Not only a building is designed here, but a future for people in the region. All signs are at the beginning and it remains exciting how this project will develop.
