Federal Funding of 38 Million Euro for Digital Infrastructure granted to Solingen
In a significant move towards digital advancement, the federal government has announced plans to invest approximately €38 million in the digital infrastructure expansion project in Solingen. The funding will come from the federal government's funding program, with the federal MP responsible for the districts of Remscheid, Solingen, Cronenberg, and Ronsdorf in Wuppertal, Ingo Schäfer, confirming the news yesterday evening.
Major telecommunications companies are expected to expand their high-speed networks in the city of Solingen as part of this project, ensuring that around 4,000 households and businesses can benefit from improved digital connectivity. The digital infrastructure expansion program does not specify the exact percentage of funding the federal government will contribute, but it is expected to contribute 50 percent of the project costs.
The digital infrastructure expansion project is crucial for Solingen's Smart City to leverage the advantages of digitalization. However, it's important to note that the program does not mention any potential changes in the city's digital infrastructure beyond providing fast internet access. Additionally, there are no explicit confirmations of this €38 million funding for Solingen's digital infrastructure expansion in publicly available federal or EU-level documents.
The city of Solingen has requested a total of over €76 million for the digital infrastructure expansion project. The program ensures internet access for households and businesses where private sector expansion is not viable in Solingen. Despite the absence of a specific timeline for its implementation, the digital infrastructure expansion project is expected to cost more than €76 million in total.
While the details of the €38 million funding are yet to be fully disclosed, the investment is a positive step towards enhancing Solingen's digital infrastructure and contributing to its Smart City vision. For precise and up-to-date details, consulting official German federal government communications, North Rhine-Westphalia state announcements, or Solingen municipal sources would be necessary.
