– The next points of pride – said the mayor – are the playgrounds that have been renovated or rebuilt by the municipality in the past period, as well as the complex, multi-functional community spaces that offer various sports and leisure opportunities.

In the same way, the modernized bus stops, which can be said to be almost unique in our country, are also the pride of the city – in recent years, they have been equipped with a modern, electronic, real-time information passenger information system, thereby making public transport more likable. During the modernization of the stops, covered, safe bicycle storage facilities were also created, and a bicycle path network was also built in connection with this.

As dr. Károly Biró pointed out that the sports facilities and the excellent sports infrastructure of the city are also seen as a point of pride – the sports hall connected to the elementary school, which also provides the children with the opportunity for daily physical education, is constantly being modernized, and the complex was recently enriched with solar panels in the spirit of energy saving. The facility also provides a venue for training sessions for athletes and juniors – its utilization is 100 percent. The new, rebuilt football stadium also enriches the sports life, in addition, an ice rink was operated for the second time in winter, and an outdoor handball court was also recently built.

– the mayor of Kozármisleny concluded the list.

A commercial business center can be built in the city limits

The city’s local government also counts on the suggestions of the population when defining the developments – for the first time three years ago, HUF 5 million was allocated to the community budget. Local residents decide what the city will use the money for. Thus, in the recent period, based on suggestions received from residents, for example, solar street lighting was built around the record-breaking running track, but the community budget also provided cover for the financing of dozens of trash cans installed around the park forest, and thanks to this, a parking lot is being built on Március 15. tér, the construction of which it started recently.

This year, the available budget has increased to HUF 10 million – the local government is looking for proposals for low-budget projects that can be implemented within one or two years from Kozármislenyi and increase the comfort of the population.
As dr. Károly Biró, the mayor of Kozármisleny, said that the processing of the proposals received so far has already begun, but they are still waiting for the completed questionnaires. An internet vote will be launched on the submitted ideas, and the project with the most votes will be implemented in the coming period.

The mayor pointed out that, based on other indications from the public, it became clear years ago that the larger-scale project, for which there is significant demand from the city’s residents, is nothing more than another retail center. In response to this, the local government searched for the most suitable area for the purpose, and has now also purchased the affected plots, so that according to the plans, a grocery store will be opened in the future – presumably supplemented by other commercial units – on a 3.5-hectare area at the entrance to the new residential complex. – The interest on the part of the investors is lively, so we have every reason to assume that the necessary agreements for the start of the investment may be reached next year – announced the mayor.

For one day, the city dressed up again in folk costumes – The Geofolk exhibition traveling from country to country also made the tradition-preserving event unique
