The Saxon government intends to present a new state development plan (LEP) in this legislative period and is seeking cooperation from local authorities, specialist authorities and associations. The aim is to shape Saxony's future together, explained Regina Kraushaar, Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development. Public authorities have until 12 October to communicate their current or planned measures and timetables via the Saxon participation portal.
Transparency and close cooperation with the public bodies is very important, emphasized the CDU politician. "With the current procedural step, we are working together with municipalities, specialist authorities and associations to create the basis for a state development plan that is based on broad expertise."
The state development plan is the government's overall interdisciplinary state planning concept for the spatial organization and development of the Free State. It contains strategies for settlement development, economic development, nature and environmental protection and transport infrastructure. It also defines the distribution of areas for housing, commerce, agriculture and recreation.
