West Maas en Waal investigates need for sustainable hub: residents can contribute ideas

This is an old message.

The municipality invites residents to contribute ideas for a potential sustainable hub. A hub is a place where residents can gather to exchange sustainable ideas, set up projects, and collaborate on creating a sustainable, clean, and future-proof municipality. 

The municipality invites residents to contribute ideas for a potential sustainable hub. A hub is a place where residents can gather to exchange sustainable ideas, set up projects, and collaborate on creating a sustainable, clean, and future-proof municipality. The sustainable hub has not yet been realized; the municipality first wants to work with residents to discover what the hub could mean and what ideas there are. 

Exploring ideas together with residents

"The sustainable hub offers residents the opportunity to work together on a livable and future-proof municipality," says Alderman Marieke van den Boom. "We are very curious to hear what ideas our residents have and what a hub could look like. Everyone is welcome to contribute their thoughts and ideas. So please come to the kick-off meeting!"

Interactive sessions

In order to develop a plan, the municipality is organizing a series of interactive sessions in which interested parties can participate.

  • January 29, session 1: Getting started What is a sustainable Hub and what possibilities does it offer?
  • February 26, session 2: Gathering ideas Everyone can contribute sustainable ideas about energy, reuse, green initiatives, and waste.
  • March 26, session 3: From ideas to plans: We bundle the ideas, discover themes, and select promising projects.
  • April 30, session 4: Design and organization: What is needed for a successful hub in terms of location, activities, management, and financing?
  • May 28, session 5: Presentation & conclusion: Presentation of the results and next steps.

The kick-off session will take place on Thursday, January 29, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. at MFA de Rosmolen. Participants can choose which follow-up sessions they would like to attend.
