Village deal to realize plans
The Foundation has great plans for the IJsselweide and talked about their ambitions, including increasing liveliness, expanding the range of sports and meetings and preparing a village deal. The village deal can provide a (financial) start to the implementation of the plans. Residents of Oude IJsselstreek can also contribute ideas to these plans. A questionnaire will soon be distributed for this purpose via the municipal communication channels such as the website, social media and the Municipal News.
Mayor Laura Werger thanked the board members of the foundation for their enthusiasm and infectious vision for the sports and meeting park.
