Business Owners Invited to Participate in a Public Consultation on Social Real Estate
The Municipality of Voorschoten is working on a public interest resolution regarding the leasing of social real estate. Before the municipality makes its decision, it would like to engage in dialogue with business owners and other stakeholders. For this reason, it is organizing a public consultation on Monday evening, April 13.
In the public interest resolution, the municipality stipulates that it may lease buildings with a social function at a lower, below-cost rate. Examples include sports facilities, community centers, neighborhood centers, the library, and locations for toddler care and early childhood education. Real estate used for commercial activities, such as childcare, is not covered by this provision.
Understanding Potential Effects
“Before the city council adopts the resolution on June 4, we would like to gain insight into the potential effects on the market and the parties involved,” explains Alderman Pieter Varekamp. “Through this market consultation, we look forward to engaging in dialogue with business owners, commercial landlords, real estate professionals, and others active in the social real estate sector.”
