For young and old, for residents and visitors 

The youth center t Centrum in Bredevoort will be transformed into a modern place where young people meet each other and learn to organize activities themselves. In square t Zand, new furniture, a play structure, and lots of greenery will be added. This will become a nice place for young and old. With new routes and an experience app, the rich history of Bredevoort will be visible and tangible. Not only for residents but also for visitors. 

Investing together in the strength of a community

With this Village Deal, we again show what is possible when residents, municipalities, and provinces invest together in the strength of a community. The projects in Bredevoort also ensure more encounters and connections between people. This strengthens livability. That is exactly what we, as a province, stand for: vital villages and neighborhoods where everyone can participate and feel at home.

Working together on the future 

The plans come from the Future Vision Bredevoort. This vision was created together with residents. Together with the municipality of Aalten and local partners, we financially contribute to these projects.
