Region receives millions of investment for accessibility

The government is making € 2.5 billion available for the accessibility of new housing. Of this, the Municipality of Leiden and the region will receive an allocation of over € 146 million, of which € 34 million is for the development of the Leiden – Utrecht railroad and Hazerswoude station. On top of that, the Municipality of Katwijk will receive almost € 14 million for the developments around the Eli Lilly and Company company. With this boost, the grand plans in the area can be further developed.

The allocation is distributed among the projects as follows:

• € 105,072,000 as an investment in Leiden Central Hub;
• € 7.081.031 voor de woningbouwontwikkeling Wernink in de Hoge Mors;
• € 34.108.600 voor de ontwikkeling van het spoor Leiden – Utrecht, waaronder station Hazerswoude;
• € 14 miljoen voor de ont­wik­ke­lingen rondom het be­drijf Eli Lilly and Company.

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.

The developments also fully benefit SMEs in our business parks and the nurturing local economy.

Congratulations to everyone who made the effort!
