Summer interview: Mayor Schmitt about refugees and census

In the current summer interview, Mayor Michael Schmitt comments on the situation of refugee accommodation in the municipality of Brigachtal. He emphasizes that the municipality not only needs financial support on this topic, but also a stronger backing of overarching bodies. This challenge is of great importance in the region, since the municipalities are often left alone, although they are largely responsible for the accommodation and integration of refugees.

In his remarks, Schmitt provides an insight into the current circumstances. The first half of the year was characterized by the need to create sufficient living space for the incoming refugees. He criticizes that the support from the federal and state governments is not sufficient to relieve the communities in their task. Immigration is not only an urgent social problem, but also a complex financial challenge for the municipalities.

population and their importance

Another topic that appeals to Schmitt are the demographic changes in Brigachtal. According to the recent results of the census, the municipality has lost 180 inhabitants. These developments are alarming because they could affect the future development and financing of the municipal offers. The shrinking population has consequences, especially with regard to the provision of services and ensuring income from property tax.

The population has far -reaching effects on the community. With fewer inhabitants, not only the tax revenue is falling, but also the interest of investors. Schmitt makes it clear that the challenges in front of which Brigachtal is facing cannot be viewed in isolation. The municipal administration is required to find solutions to counteract demographic change. This also includes the question of how the Civic Services, i.e. the services for citizens, can be maintained.

The needs of the residents must always remain in focus, be it through better infrastructure, schools or leisure activities. Schmitt plans to expand his strategy in the coming months in order to promote positive developments in the community and to counteract the decline in the population. Here he sees the need to respond to the wishes of the citizens and to have an open ear for their concerns.

In conclusion, it can be said that the talks in the summer interview not only shed light on the current challenges, but also give an outlook on the future development of the Brigachtal community. The financial requirements and the integration of refugees are central issues that are equally important for citizens and administration.
