Conference on vacant property management held on 8 November 2023
On 8 November 2023, our Full House Weinviertel conference on vacant property management took place in Mistelbach town hall. We partnered up with the LEADER Region Weinviertel-Donauraum, the Marchfeld region and a number of representatives from our municipalities to closely examine the topic of vacant properties in Weinviertel towns and villages. We discussed innovative ideas and various best practice examples to demonstrate that vacant properties are more than just a problem. They are an opportunity for us to build lively communities.

LIVE IN THE TOWN CENTER - NEW PAHTS FOR COMMUNITIES
May 9, 2024, 6:22 p.m. | ORF 2 I Production: ORF and the Southern Weinviertel region
The TV documentary "Live in the Town Center" shows how Lower Austrian communities are developing innovative approaches to revitalizing their town centers. The focus is particularly on the Southern Weinviertel region, which is taking targeted initiatives to revitalize its centers. The program makes it clear that successful town center revitalization is only possible through the active involvement of the population. An impressive example is the small town of Sallingstadt in the Waldviertel, where the lively club life and the village inn strengthen the community and contribute to the sustainable development of the town center. "Live in the Town Center" offers concrete examples for communities that are looking for new ways to develop town centers.
