How does the Stadteland Development Fund Geldrop-Mierlo work?

An entrepreneurship fund is financed through a surcharge on the property tax for non-residential properties. Property owners and users of workspaces automatically contribute to this fund on a pro-rata basis. This covers a broad range of sectors: from industry, service providers, the hospitality industry, and retail, to organizations such as museums, Health, and educational institutions. 

How an Entrepreneur Fund Works

With the Stadteland Development Fund Geldrop-Mierlo, we can make our village stronger and more future-proof by investing together in community-wide improvements. The fund helps in three ways:

  1. Greater effectiveness and continuity
    Good plans are given a structural foundation, without having to seek funding anew every year.
  2. Collaboration Pays Off
    Entrepreneurs and nonprofit organizations can more easily launch joint projects that improve the business climate.
  3. Greater Impact Through Co-Funding
    Having its own fund makes it easier to attract additional funding and enable larger initiatives.
