Regional councilors supported 75 rural renewal projects. 40 million crowns will be distributed among the municipalities

The rural renewal support program has six subsidized titles with different focus. Through it, the Zlín region helps smaller cities and municipalities with projects for the restoration and maintenance of municipal property, contributes to the development of spatial plans, environmental protection, and the restoration and development of threatened areas in municipalities. One subsidy title is intended for expanding the network of long-distance and regionally important cycle routes.

“Since last year, municipalities have also been able to apply for money for the processing of project documentation for the construction, reconstruction or modernization of civic facilities buildings. A number of our municipalities are unable to draw enough subsidies simply because of a lack of funds for project preparation. With the finished project documentation, they have a chance to get interesting national or European subsidies,” explained Deputy Governor Lubomír Traub, responsible for the strategic development of the region.

Medlovice, for example, was successful in its application for regional support, which will receive 1 million crowns for the restoration of greenery and public spaces. The same amount will also be received by Sehradice for the revitalization of the children’s playground, or Vítonice for the bus stop.

Confirmation of the remaining subsidies is included in the meeting agenda of the Zlín Regional Council, which will be held on Monday, April 29.
