Ten Million Euros Paid Out: Burgenland Receives Special Allocations Earlier This Year

Earlier than usual, the municipalities of Burgenland received part of the demand allocations this year. Ten million euros were already transferred at the beginning of the week - and not as usual at the end of December - to financially support the municipalities now and to ensure liquidity and performance capability, announced Regional Councillor Leonhard Schneemann (SPÖ) in a press release on Thursday. The remaining amount, including project funding, is expected to be disbursed by the end of the year.

Municipalities Demanded Early Payment

The municipal representatives had requested an early payment in discussions with Governor Hans Peter Doskozil (SPÖ). The funds from the Municipal Investment Act (KIG) have also been forwarded and not withheld, as criticized by the ÖVP, Schneemann stated. Immediately after the funds from the federal government were received, the approximately five million euros were distributed among the municipalities and the transfer process was initiated.
