The government is making € 2.5 billion available for the accessibility of new housing. Of this, the Municipality of Leiden will receive an allocation of over € 146 million and the Municipality of Katwijk of almost € 14 million for, among other things, the accessibility of new housing in the city and region.
Katwijk will receive the funds for the development around the Eli Lilly and Company company and homes in the area. With this first impulse, the grand plans in the area can be further developed.
Projects in Leiden will receive a contribution of over €146 million. They are:
- € 105,072,000 as an investment in Leiden Central Hub;
- € 7,081,031 for the Wernink housing development in the Hoge Mors and
- € 34,108,600 for the development of the Leiden – Utrecht railroad, including Hazerswoude station.
These investments give not only Leiden, the region and South Holland, but all of the Netherlands perspective on a better future!
Access Gate
An improved Leiden Centraal interchange is not only crucial to the growth of travelers and the opening up of tens of thousands of new homes, but is also the gateway to one of the largest education, healthcare, an innovation clusters in the Netherlands.
From mboRijnland, Hogeschool Leiden to Leiden University, and from Leiden Bio Science Park, Unmanned Valley to NL Space Campus: our region attracts international talent that strengthens our earning power and innovativeness.
In doing so, the developments also benefit SMEs in our business parks and the nurturing local economy.
Congratulations to everyone who made the effort!
