Development of State Location Moves Closer to Realization
The municipal council has agreed to the TAM environmental plan for the redevelopment of the State location. This brings the actual construction of the houses an important step closer. In the short term, the sale of the houses will start.
Sustainable Residential Area
The State location, better known as the Boerenbond, has been a visibly dilapidated and largely vacant area at an important entrance to Nederweert since the fire in 2012. With the planned transformation, this outdated business location will make way for a sustainable residential area with 131 houses.
Mix of Houses
The plan aligns with the regional housing construction task and caters to the changing demographics, with special attention to starters, seniors, and smaller households. The plan consists of a mix of 27% social rent, 42% affordable housing, and 31% free sector. It is supplemented with facilities such as a parking garage, bike storage, and a green, high-quality public space. More information can be found at destaatnederweert.nl.
Unwanted Situation Resolved
With this redevelopment, not only is an spatially unwanted situation resolved, but a significant contribution is also made to the need for new homes in Limburg. The entrance to Nederweert receives a clear quality boost, while sustainability and climate adaptation are integrally included in the design. Moreover, no unacceptable environmental consequences are expected. This way, the plan adds both spatial and social value to the municipality.
Intensive Collaboration
According to alderman Meessen, the adoption of the environmental plan by the municipal council is the result of intensive collaboration between the municipality, the developer, and the surroundings after earlier redevelopment attempts in previous years.
