Hockenheim Marketing Verein Faces Deficit Despite City Support
HOCKENHEIM – The hockenheim Marketing Verein (HMV) concluded the recent fiscal year with a budget shortfall of €15,700, despite a €125,000 contribution from the city, officials revealed to the local council this week.

The organization, whose board operates on a volunteer basis, is now focused on identifying and addressing key cost drivers as it prepares its budget for the coming year.
“We will be looking more closely at the main cost factors,” stated HMV representatives, with Dietl adding the organization intends to “implement clean processes” in its procurement procedures. The council unanimously acknowledged the report, signaling continued support for the HMV’s role in promoting the town. The next budget plan will be presented to the relevant main committee for review.
