The municipality of Mol is granting an interest-free loan with infrastructure subsidy of 55,000 euros to Lichtstoet Ginderbuiten vzw for the renovation of their barracks on Brandstraat.

The association will use the received support for a thorough and sustainable renovation of the barracks where the floats for the annual light parade are built. The works are necessary to keep the infrastructure safe and usable. Existing structures will be reinforced, a new roof will be installed, and the old gates will be replaced with new panels, including the removal of asbestos sheets. Additionally, solar panels will be installed.
The total investment for the complete renovation is estimated at 82,373 euros. Lichtstoet Ginderbuiten is also contributing its own funds to this project. With the 55,000 euro interest-free loan, the municipal executive supports this significant investment.
The municipal executive of Mol aims to actively assist associations in investing in sound and sustainable infrastructure. Other cultural, youth, and sports associations, as well as community centers, can also apply for an interest-free loan with infrastructure subsidy under certain conditions via the municipality's website.
