FDP advocates for a fresh beginning in the pursuit of purchasing the paper factory's property
The paper mill site in Dillweißenstein, a location of ongoing interest for housing development, has recently seen a new twist in its fate. The FDP fraction in the city council has expressed a keen interest in acquiring the property, with the aim of addressing local housing needs.
The previous attempt to sell the site to a Viennese investor for 13.4 million euros fell through, primarily due to challenges related to valuation and development feasibility. Currently, the site remains under the ownership of the municipality or the managing authority, with exploratory discussions still underway.
Monika Descharmes, spokeswoman for the FDP fraction, has stated that housing is scarce in Pforzheim and they are willing to bear an absolute upper limit of 1.3 million euros. The FDP is ready to invest "a good million" in the development of the paper mill site.
Meanwhile, the city's administration is reviewing the conditions for sale and development plans more carefully, aiming to balance financial considerations with urban planning goals. The FDP fraction is prepared to make an offer to purchase the paper mill site for the agreed price of 13.4 million euros.
The interest rate environment and construction cost prices have developed negatively since the appraisal was created, which could potentially impact the financial viability of the project. However, the FDP sees the paper mill site as a location for urgently needed housing in Dillweißenstein.
The tax office approached the previous owner, Bernhard Rieser, due to the unpaid real estate transfer tax of 675,000 euros. Bernhard Rieser interpreted the non-payment of the real estate transfer tax as a sign that the investor would not complete the purchase.
The FDP fraction in the city council has been considering purchasing the paper mill site in Dillweißenstein for housing development. Hans-Ulrich Rülke, the FDP fraction leader, has stated that they are willing to accept a loss-making deal for the city to create housing.
New construction activities have practically come to a standstill, adding urgency to the need for housing development projects like the one proposed for the paper mill site. The FDP wishes for a swift start to negotiations for the purchase of the paper mill site.
For the most precise and updated status, it might be useful to consult the latest city council meeting minutes or official municipal communications. The future of the paper mill site remains tentative but promising, pending resolution of these issues.
