\nThe Chamber debated and adopted unanimously, by 60 votes, projet de loi 8656 authorising the state participation of 103.5 million euros in the Kennedy-Sud affordable housing project on the Kirchberg.
\nPatrick Goldschmidt (DP), the rapporteur stating the size of the building project:
\n\n\nDe Projet gesäit de Bau vun insgesamt 245 Logementer vir, wou spéiderhin da bis zu 550 Leit solle wunnen.
\n
The project provides for the construction of 245 dwellings in total, where up to 550 people are later to live.
\nSitting of 30 April 2026, Patrick Goldschmidt, DP
\nAlex Donnersbach (CSV), welcoming the location of the project as consistent with spatial planning:
\n\n\nBesonnesch positiv, mengen ech, ass och ze erwänen, datt dëse Projet um Kierchbierg entsteet, wat och vun engem landesplaneresche Point de vue genau an där Planung ass, datt do Wunnengen entstinn, wou och d’Aarbechtsplaze sinn.
\n
Particularly positive, I think, is also to mention that this project is being built on the Kirchberg, which from a spatial-planning point of view is exactly the plan, that housing is created where the jobs are.
\nSitting of 30 April 2026, Alex Donnersbach, CSV
\nTom Weidig (ADR), arguing that the need for such a project is itself bad news:
\n\n\nDatt mir haut e Projet zum abordabele Wunnraum stëmme mussen, ass keng gutt Noriicht, mee et ass eng schlecht Noriicht.
\n
That we have to vote today on an affordable housing project is not good news, it is bad news.
