Focus on climate and care
The special funding campaign also focuses on setting effective and sustainable priorities in the interests of energy efficiency and climate and environmental protection. The aim is to save energy and other important resources in the area of residential construction. A further focus is on adapting homes and owner-occupied apartments for the elderly and disabled. The desire to grow old within one's own four walls becomes possible. The craftsmen's bonus is being used to advance the state's goals, which are anchored in the climate strategy and the care plan for the future.
Good for the job market
In addition, private investment in construction and renovation measures is being given an additional boost. This efficient measure by the state of Burgenland is intended to stimulate the employment market in the trades, construction and retail sectors in Burgenland. In this way, thousands of jobs will be secured. The negative effects of the economic downturn are being counteracted in a targeted manner.
Craft trades and the construction industry revive
The 2024 craft trades bonus will provide targeted support for local craft trades businesses in difficult times and boost regional value creation. According to economic forecasts, the recession in the construction and ancillary building trades will worsen in 2024, as residential construction will have to cope with the high construction and financing costs. The first effects of the decline in orders have already been felt in recent months. The craftsmen's bonus is an instrument designed to cushion this decline in orders and provide a revival and new impetus in the main and ancillary construction trades during the economic downturn. It is very important for state policy that this measure stimulates the labor market in the trades and construction industry.
