New construction of the KVV headquarters in Kassel: Controversy around 120 million euros construction project

The controversial million-euro construction project in Kassel: CDU and AfD skeptically

Not only the Kasseler Verkehrs- und Versorgungs-GmbH (KVV) is behind the planned 120 million euro construction project at Wilhelmshöher Allee, but also the CDU and AfD now express concerns.

The CDU parliamentary group calls for a precise examination of the project, since the existing buildings at the Königstor are in need of renovation according to their view. The cost-benefit analysis and financial compatibility are also the focus of the discussions.

The FDP emphasizes the jurisdiction of the KVV bodies for the decision and urges a comprehensive examination of all options. In particular, the financial aspects for the entire city group should be taken into account.

The SPD calls for a detailed cost and benefit analysis to ensure attractive jobs in times of shortage of skilled workers. The Greens rely on sustainable planning and emphasis on good working conditions.

The left -wing faction prefers to use existing buildings, but also sees a new building as an option if the conversion is not possible. The AfD expresses concerns about possible costly construction delays and criticizes the prioritization of prestige projects in view of the existing pension challenges in Kassel.

agree that the parties are carefully made and the interests of the citizens must be taken into account. Ultimately, the question arises whether a new building is actually the best solution or alternative forms of use are more ecological and economical.
