<p>Overview of the decisions:
Measures in road, bridge and school building construction
The city council has approved road, bridge and school building construction measures for implementation in the regional budget.

For Chemnitz, a total of around 39.2 million euros is available for municipal road and bridge construction and for municipal school building construction until 2036.
moreMeasures for sport, culture, leisure and safety
The city council has decided on measures that will be financed from the lump-sum investment budget for the implementation of the Saxony Fund Act. This is based on funds from the federal government's special fund for infrastructure and climate neutrality, which are passed on to the municipalities via the Free State of Saxony. A total of around 105.8 million euros will be available for Chemnitz from the lump-sum investment budget until 2036. The funds are to be invested in sports, culture, safety, fire protection and leisure and event infrastructure in particular
