Preparations for the renewal of the village center of Wolvertem are progressing. Entrepreneurs are being kept informed about the project timeline and the communication strategy for the coming years.
Following the presentation of the preliminary design, the technical elaboration of the project has continued. The engineering firm, in collaboration with Aquafin, has further developed the plan for the necessary sewer works. The execution of these works and the redevelopment of the village center are currently estimated to begin in the summer of 2028.
The local government acknowledges that such projects can raise questions and concerns among local entrepreneurs and emphasizes the importance of timely and transparent information. Combining the sewer works and the redevelopment of the public domain is considered the most efficient approach to minimize long-term disruption.
Over the coming years, regular communication will be provided regarding the project's progress. Targeted information will be shared at key milestones, and consultations with affected merchants will take place as needed. Suggestions and questions from entrepreneurs will be considered in the further follow-up of the dossier.
An indicative project timeline is available to provide insight into the various phases leading up to the execution of the works. This planning is based on current insights and may be influenced by unforeseen circumstances, additional research findings, tenders, or other external factors.
