The municipality of Kuurne has purchased a warehouse and associated land of 4,197 m² at Kasteelstraat 55, a strategically located site near the cemetery.

The acquisition of the plot, covering an area of 4,197 m², is considered an interesting opportunity for the municipality due to its strategic location. In the longer term, the site could potentially offer an alternative for municipal functions currently housed elsewhere, such as the municipal warehouse along the Leie. However, a final decision on this has not yet been made.
The immediate focus is on preparing the site, which includes the remediation of the land and the demolition of the existing buildings. The municipality will keep the neighborhood informed about the progress of the work.
