Investing in the future of our associations

To ensure that associations in Kerkrade can continue to operate effectively in the future, research has been conducted into the vitality and accommodation of sports, scouting, and music associations. Together with the associations, we looked at what is needed now and in the future.

On February 25, the municipal council approved the proposed solutions. Most of the preparations will start in 2026, with implementation from 2026/2027.

Alderman Geers: "Our associations are the beating heart of Kerkrade. With these investments, we are ensuring that they will continue to have a pleasant, safe, and suitable place to play sports, make music, and meet each other in the future."
