Government expenditures heavily prioritize social welfare programs at the county level
Rhein-Kreis Neuss is gearing up for a year of transformation, with a budget of €612.6 million set to drive sustainable economic, ecological, social, and cultural development. County Commissioner Hans-Jürgen Petrauschke has outlined the key focus areas for the year ahead, including structural change, digitalization, and climate protection.
The budget includes a significant €1.2 million package for climate protection measures. Renewable energy projects, energy efficiency in public buildings, and sustainable transport initiatives are set to receive funding, as Rhein-Kreis Neuss aims to reduce its carbon footprint.
In terms of social services, 55 percent of the budget is earmarked for support, with investments in education, childcare, healthcare, and welfare for vulnerable groups. The budget also includes provisions for the Youth County Council, a midwifery center, and an action plan for the crafts sector.
Digitalization is another priority, with a €500,000 allocation for the acceleration of digitalization measures. These funds will be used to improve digital administration, e-government services, and the integration of digital tools in schools and public services.
The county's share of the tax burden will decrease by 2.56 percent, reaching its lowest level since 1987. This reduction is expected to provide relief for local residents and businesses.
Improvements to the cycling route connection between Neuss and Grevenbroich are also part of the budget, as Rhein-Kreis Neuss continues to prioritize sustainable transport.
