Municipality of Uitgeest: Redevelopment of De Koog Phase 2

This is one of eight projects that HHNK has subsidized under the KAN scheme. Through this Climate Active Noorderkwartier subsidy regulation, municipalities can receive up to 30% of the project costs for projects that make the living environment more climate-proof. The scheme is intended to accelerate the implementation of these projects. On February 15, HHNK director Klazien Hartog symbolically handed over this amount to alderman Jan Schouten.

Alderman Jan Schouten is pleased with HHNK's contribution: "The municipality of Uitgeest can get started with the help of the KAN subsidy. The redevelopment will start at the beginning of August this year and the aim is to complete it by the end of 2025. The work around Kooglaan in the De Koog neighborhood will consist of lowering green areas and constructing wadis (natural water storage), so that rainwater can sink into the soil." The total cost of the project is €800,000, of which HHNK is contributing €97,375 from the KAN subsidy.
