Future Investments Act

In the framework of the federal government Second Economic Package of January 2009 the law on the execution of future investments of the municipalities and federal states (Future Investments Act [ZuInvG]) is making cash available to the municipalities and states to a total value of €10bn. The federal states and municipalities are taking on a co-financing share of 25%, so that a total of at least €13.3bn is available for additional investments in the training and education infrastructure and for improvement of the remaining infrastructure. In addition numerous projects and measures for increasing energy efficiency are being carried out.
