Train connections between Zeeland and the rest of the country are also being improved. State Secretary of the Interior, Raymond Knops, just announced this in a special press conference.
Great headache file
Since March, work has been underway on a compensation package for the disappointed Zeelanders, after a planned move from the Marine Barracks was canceled. At that time, the province had already built roads and even expropriated land from farmers to enable the arrival of the barracks.
Many Marines themselves did not want to move to Zeeland with their families and threatened to resign. The cabinet then secretly looked for a different location, while Zeeland was always told that the arrival of the barracks would continue.

As a result, State Secretary Barbara Visser came under heavy fire in the House of Representatives.
The Chamber accuses her of fooling the people of Zeeland for too long. To make up for it, the cabinet had to come up with a compensation plan. The compensation plans are a proposal from the special advisor, Bernard Wientjes. He wants to transform Zeeland into a ‘Law Delta’, a concentration of important judicial and security organizations.

Faster trains between Zeeland and the Randstad and money for Zeeland education are also included in the package. The faster trains would make Zeeland more attractive for young people to study in Zeeland.
The package should provide many more jobs, which will give the province a big boost. Now the province has to deal with a significant idle time. It is hoped that the package will create more than a thousand new jobs.
