Future-proof Southeast Brabant
These 21 municipalities are part of the Eindhoven metropolitan region (MRE). This partnership helps municipalities in Southeast Brabant to develop with an eye on the future. This keeps the region attractive for new residents, businesses, and investors. Housing construction is just one task within the region. The quality of the rural area, mobility, sustainability, and the economy are also included.
RVO will publish the page where municipalities can apply for WMRE as soon as possible. Keep an eye on RVO.nl to stay updated.
