On 14 February, the Cabinet announced a selection of 14 deals from the 26 proposals submitted for the third tranche of Regio Deals. Region Noord-Limburg is one of the selected deals and will be awarded €17.5 million. In total, the government will make €180 million available for these deals.
Under the leadership of Minister Schouten of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV), the Cabinet decided which proposals will be developed into Regio Deals. North Limburg's successful proposal came about in cooperation with the Province and various regional partners. The central theme is contributing to a healthy, enterprising and safe North Limburg.
Chairman of the Northern Limburg Region Antoin Scholten: "This is fantastic news for the Northern Limburg Region. With the award, the State is giving us tremendous support to make the most of the regional ambitions and the potential that is present in the Region." The state contribution from the regional envelope and the agreements between the Province and the North Limburg Region are an important flywheel to powerfully implement and accelerate the ambitions from the Investment Agenda North Limburg presented in June 2019.
Cooperation pays off
The proposal of the region deal is supported by the partners of the Brightlands Campus Greenport Venlo, the entrepreneurs and social partners united in the foundation Healthiest Region 2025, the five educational institutions in the region (Citaverde College, Gilde Opleidingen, Fontys Venlo, HAS Venlo and Maastricht University), the Safety Region North Limburg as well as the security partners in the Regional Information and Expertise Centre (RIEC) Limburg. These, and in the further elaboration various other partners, play a very active role in the creation and implementation of the regional deal.
