Separation of Irrigation Area from Project: Implications for Planning and Financing

According to mayor Maurus Caflisch, the irrigation area, which was estimated to cost almost one million francs, was separated from the project. This requires separate planning approval and financing that goes more through the managers than through the landowners. According to the embassy, ​​the costs would not be eligible for contributions. For the 16.5 million francs that will be subsidized, the federal government and the canton have promised contributions of a total of 84 percent, which corresponds to almost 13.9 million francs. The municipality covers 30 percent of the remaining costs; What is left is at the expense of the property owner and third parties. (jfp)
