“Garching won’t go bankrupt”: The city has to draw on reserves to finance expensive projects. “The sword of Damocles is hanging over us,” says mayor Dietmar Gruchmann.

The city council will decide at the meeting on Thursday, February 29th whether the 2024 budget will be approved. The largest item is the construction of the new fire station at around 13 million euros. In total, the project is expected to cost around 30 million.
