Memorandum from the Mayor and Aldermen on the Framework Agreement for the GGA Border Corridor

Since last year, the municipality of Geldrop-Mierlo has been participating in the provincial “Green-Blue Area-Specific Approach to the Border Corridor” initiative, in which local partners collaborate on integrated goals for nature, water, and agriculture around the Natura 2000 sites of Groote Heide, Leenderbos, and the Plateaux. On the western side, this collaboration had already been underway for several years, but over the past year, the municipalities on the eastern side (Cranendonck, Heeze-Leende, and Geldrop-Mierlo) have also been added to the area. To give substance to this collaboration, cooperation agreements have also been drawn up for the eastern part. Through these agreements, the regional partners commit themselves for the long term to the joint next steps for the development of the eastern part of the Border Corridor area.

The Municipal Executive resolves:
1. To approve the cooperation agreements for the Area-Specific Approach for the eastern section of the Border Corridor in accordance with the attached final draft dated April 13, 2026; 
2. That the mayor grant the portfolio holder the authority to approve these cooperation agreements during the administrative consultation on the GGA Border Corridor on May 13, 2026;
3. To take note of the decision in principle regarding the award of the ALG subsidy for the Gijzenrooi area development.
