Mayor Simon Tschann and City Councilor for Finance Jimmy Heinzl want to maintain the course of consolidation. After all, there are still some expensive projects in the Alpine town – such as the expansion of the Bludenz Mitte elementary school or the new fire station in Bings.
The result is good. However, the general conditions for the city’s financial planning remain very challenging – this was the summary of the mayor of Bludenz, Simon Tschann, and the city councilor for finance, Jimmy Heinzl, about the accounts for the past year. With a reported budget sum of around 57 million euros, the extensive figures set a new record in the history of the Alpine town. In relation to the estimate, a surplus of almost three million euros was generated – the reason for this is the higher proportion of earnings as well as good salary settlements and the associated rise in local taxes Nevertheless, the city councilor for finance warns of restraint: “The budget consolidation must continue to be given high priority, the uncertain economic prospects, the interest rate development and our view of a long list of tasks make this necessary.” The good result was ultimately also influenced by project postponements. “These were the consequences of global supply problems and overheating in the construction sector. The sometimes exorbitant cost increases – such as the construction of the elementary school in Bludenz Mitte – will keep us busy for the next few years. “The new childcare law will also ensure a significant increase in costs in this area. For Bludenz, the implementation of these legal measures will mean a burden of several million,” explained the mayor.
