In Kanta-Hämee, the MPs are applying for funding from the state for 11 projects, there are nine similar projects in Päijät-Hämee.
Häme MPs have made 20 joint Kanta- and Päijät-Häme’s most important budget initiatives for next year. The development items are related to the government’s budget proposal for next year, which the government has given to the parliament.
For many projects, only partial financing is applied for
There are 11 items on the Kanta-Häme development list, among which are, for example, the improvement of highway 2 and kantatie 54. Support is also sought, for example, to build passing places on the main line between Riihimäki and Tampere.
– For example, in transport projects, they want to highlight certain roads that can be allocated small amounts if the projects are ready. These so-called ready-made projects are financed and implemented in any case, Filatov states.
According to both Filatov and Kemp, getting financial support for two or three development sites is realistic. The amounts applied for and granted to the targets are quite small, usually no more than one million euros per project.
