Budget crisis in Neunkirchen: Council postponed decision again!

Neunkirchen, Deutschland - unexpected twists in the Neunkirchen-Seelscheider municipal council: The planned budget decision for 2025 had to be postponed again. The council members were invited to coordinate the budget, but the CDU applied for the agenda to postpone this agenda item to the next meeting in July. The interest of the community to say goodbye to the budget remains unchanged. The proposed resolution was unanimously accepted with one abstention, but the municipality remains temporarily in the housekeeping after the draft budget was rejected in the previous session.

Especially in the focus of the session, the comprehensive plans for the development of the school campus in Neunkirchen were. An energy -efficient educational center is to be built gradually here. The Council presented a clear plan, which includes 18 different measures to develop the campus into a showcase project in terms of sustainability. A central element is the new supply network that is to be built at the location of the old simple sports hall. A youth center and an integrated youth welfare center are also planned, for which specific planning orders and funding applications have already been made. The exchange with the Rhein-Sieg district for this construction project is in full swing.

digitization on a large scale

While the course is set for the future in Neunkirchen, a lot develops in the field of digital infrastructure at the federal level. In the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BMDV), expenditure on digital policy projects is to increase considerably in 2025. A total of 3.51 billion euros are provided for this, which corresponds to an increase of 52% compared to the previous year. In particular, the focus is on the comprehensive broadband expansion, with planned 2.93 billion euros, and a clear focus on mobile phone expansion, which increases to 366.8 million euros in 2025.

Such developments are also important for Neunkirchen. The municipality is currently dependent on a nationwide fast internet, which is reflected in the local project structure. For this purpose, the municipality has chosen an agile approach under the direction of its IT specialist group. The Rhein-Sieg-Kreis takes on important tasks such as funding applications and tenders. A central functional box also ensures improved communication with the citizens.

emergency care and citizens' communication

The community has also discovered that emergency care is a explosive topic. The majority of the SPD application for emergency care was accepted. Everyone radio units for six citizens' places of office should be purchased, and the administration is planning exercises for long-term damage events and the occupation of information points for citizens. All of these measures should also serve to give citizens a transparent insight into the political processes in the future.

With these developments, Neunkirchen-Seelscheid shows that it is not just about the numbers in the household, but also a holistic improvement in the infrastructure and communication in the community. All eyes are now aimed at the next July meeting, where the household may eventually be adopted.
