This is a special milestone for the municipality of Borne. The growth of the municipality confirms what many already knew: Borne is a good place to live, work and play.
Mayor Jan Pierik is proud of the growth:“It’s great to see that more and more people are choosing to live in the municipality of Borne. The aim is to grow to 30,000 inhabitants. We are ensuring that new housing, accessibility and facilities go hand in hand with population growth. Together, we are building a future-proof municipality where everyone feels at home and the quality of life remains high.”
Facilities grow with the population
Population growth comes with responsibility. This is why the municipality is investing heavily in facilities and infrastructure. For example, the new sports center Borne-West, a modern school building for the Jan Ligthart School and a contemporary town hall are currently under construction. In terms of housing construction, Borne is not standing still either. Numerous new homes are being built at various locations in the municipality.
Growing with a plan
These developments are closely linked to the environmental mission statement, which is currently available for inspection. In it, the municipality outlines its ambitions and plans for the future: how we want to deal with living, working, mobility, nature and sustainability in Borne. The growth to 25,000 inhabitants underlines the need for a clear course that leaves room for development while preserving the character of Borne. With the growth to 25,000 inhabitants, Borne is underlining its ambitions: a vibrant, future-oriented municipality that is good to live in. Now and in the future.
