Council Approves New Municipal Building in Mijdrecht Three and a Half Years After Referendum
The Ronde Venen municipal council approved plans to build a new town hall in Mijdrecht, aligning with a 2023 referendum result favoring new construction over renovation. The project, located on Vermogensweg, is expected to cost 27.4 million euros due to rising material and labor costs, exceeding the initial 24 million euro estimate. The old building will be demolished to make way for 72 apartments, retail space, and a library. The council declined to hold another referendum, citing the previous vote, and allocated 25 million euros toward the construction, though the source of the remaining funds remains unclear.
