Main-Spessart plans 37 million euros for new projects-but remains behind!

These numbers ensure movement in the district, which is located with a debt of 66 million euros, including the clinic and the Nägelsee school center. Despite the currently chronic residues in the planned expenses, approval for a solid household brings with it a certain confidence. This reports Main-echo
In the first half of 2025, 8.1 million euros of the funds provided could already be used. The district still has 10.9 million euros for building construction projects, 4.1 million euros for civil engineering and 12.7 million euros for the clinic.

investment needs and challenges
The persistent financial challenges are clearly evident in the required borrowing. 28.45 million euros of loans are expected for the planned investments in the 2025 district budget.

This is emphasized by the Especially in the area of youth welfare, the numbers set to think. The costs for the necessary youth welfare measures were 1.3 million euros above the original plans. The increasing use of outpatient youth welfare benefits increased by 10%, while fully inpatient care for unaccompanied minor foreigners was more than twice as high. There were also deviations at the Medical Care Center in Lohr: where the costs exceeded the budget by around 680,000 euros.
Financial views and the role of the district council
Financial planning for 2025 already seems to be above the demands of the district, but the district council was determined to accept the over -planned expenditure of the previous year. The higher borrowings and the impending financial challenges require a good hand from the decision -makers. The district levy is expected to increase to 50.4 percent, which is important to the municipalities and may make a further breather necessary.
The next few months will show how the investments can be implemented and whether the Main-Spessart district can restore its financial balance. Staying optimistic is the order of the day, because the will to improve is noticeable and remains a central drive even in stressful times. The example of the district shows how local political decisions can also have a major impact on the future development of regions.
