Municipal economic development

  • Service description

    Service description

    Municipal economic development generally refers to all economic development measures that are carried out independently and autonomously at municipal level.

    Within the framework of municipal financial sovereignty, suitable measures are taken to maintain or strengthen the municipal economic power, to improve the supply of jobs and, if necessary, to improve the local supply of goods and services.

    By creating favorable framework conditions, the current stock of trade and industry is to be maintained on the one hand, and active location marketing is to be pursued within the framework of urban development and spatial planning conditions on the other.

    Instruments for active municipal economic development:

    • Creation of infrastructure (development, land management)
    • Transport connections
    • Business incubators, business parks
    • Financial framework within the scope of legal requirements

    These include in particular




    • Special rental conditions and purchase prices
    • Guarantees within the framework of strict legal requirements
    • Favorable taxes and fees (trade tax rate and waste disposal)
    Municipal economic development measures can be flanked by regional economic development measures
    Who should I contact?

    The responsibilities are regulated very differently.

    They can be located directly with the mayor / head of the economic development department, with your own economic development companies or with an office or department of the administration.

    Contact the person responsible for the selected location (reference location):

    • District administration / administration of the independent city
    • Municipality of a district town
    • Municipal or local authority administration
