New Utrecht Council to push home construction, low-cost housing; Property tax up 15%
The new coalition presiding over City Council in Utrecht put forth a plan on Tuesday promoting new home construction and lower-cost housing, while also sharply increasing the property tax and tourist tax to help defray financial problems in the fourth largest municipality in the Netherlands. The coalition agreement between the local branches of left-wing party PRO and centrist D66 says the executive branch of city government will focus more on implementing their plans, as opposed to endless rounds pushing new political policy.
