In the Hohe Mark region, funding was allocated for initiatives in Dorsten and Raesfeld, including digital and analog tourism information pillars, biodiversity protection through amphibian crossing aids, and the creation of an inclusive water playground in Raesfeld’s Bürgerpark.

In the Rhineland Revier region, the Local Action Group (LAG) approved seven additional projects totaling approximately 591,000 euros. These projects focus on digital transformation for cultural media, accessibility through a tactile bronze model of Linnich’s historic center, and the development of school playground facilities.
