Wilhelm Korth: Raesfeld receives 300,000 euros in corona aid from the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia
On Thursday, the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia made 500 million euros available to the municipalities in the Committee on Budget and Finance to finance the direct and indirect consequences of the Corona crisis.
According to Wilhelm Korth, member of the CDU state parliament, the committee followed an initiative of the state government. Raesfeld receives 300,000 euros from this dish.
“Our municipalities in North Rhine-Westphalia have faced and are facing major challenges due to the corona crisis. The costs of the pandemic still affect us today
it continues to hit families in cities, communities and boroughs,” says Korth. He is therefore pleased that municipalities are receiving additional no-demand relief funds, which will be released later this year.
basis of the calculation
The basis for the calculation is simply the number of inhabitants, with the subsidy amounting to at least 300,000 euros. “A total of almost 11 million euros flow into the Borken district. The funds are intended to cushion the direct and indirect consequences of overcoming the corona crisis,” says Wilhelm Korth.
Background:
In contrast to 2020, when the financial burden on municipalities due to the corona pandemic was largely characterized by collapsing tax revenues, it can now be assumed that the burden associated with the corona virus will now be distributed relatively evenly and proportionally across the population .
The funds should therefore be granted to the municipalities without demand on the basis of population reports as at 30 June 2022 in the form of a non-repayable grant. Even municipalities with a small number of inhabitants receive at least 300,000 euros. The funds are financed by the Corona rescue package of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
