Streamlining Financial Resources for Future Growth
In a recent two-day retreat, the city council faction ALLIANCE 90 / THE GREENS, in collaboration with Mayor Petra Kleine, discussed political priorities for 2025. The Green faction has outlined ambitious plans to make Ingolstadt greener, shadier, and climate-adapted in all neighbourhoods.
One of the key focuses of the Green faction is the issue of climate change, which they consider a pressing concern for the region. The effects of drought, heat, and heavy rain have been endangering property and health, and the Green faction aims to address these issues head-on.
To achieve climate neutrality by 2035, the Green faction believes investing in climate-related projects is necessary to prevent further damage. They propose investing in the renaturation of the Danube riverbanks and the creation of more green and water spaces on plazas and along the streets. Additionally, they plan to promote energy-efficient building retrofits and renewable energy installations.
The Green faction also sees significant savings potential in the huge construction and renovation volume, particularly in the school and city theater sectors. They aim to prioritize sustainable investments that yield long-term savings, such as energy-efficient public infrastructure.
In terms of budget consolidation, the Green faction is committed to creating a future-proof budget by saving, improving the city's revenue, and investing in the future. They propose reducing expenditures on fossil fuel subsidies or projects with high environmental impact, and increasing transparency and public engagement in budgeting processes to align spending with environmental and social goals.
The Green faction also values a strong cooperation of all democratic forces in the city council for a good perspective for Ingolstadt. They believe that user-friendliness, durability, and good design can be achieved more cost-effectively in construction and renovation projects.
The Green faction does not specify any new revenue sources apart from expanding parking space management and adjusting property tax. However, they emphasize the importance of tapping into the city's own revenue sources to fund these ambitious plans.
The Green faction's plans also include a focus on various social issues, such as the situation of the clinic, mobile senior care expansion, school and daycare center inclusion, remembrance culture, and Nazi past scientific processing.
