HAON – The city of phoenixes is still rising and moving forward
In a video posted on his social media page, the city manager used the well-known symbol of Debrecen, the constantly reborn phoenix, as an example of how it is worth looking at the year 2022, which is full of struggles, and the period ahead.
– It symbolizes the wonderful ability that the citizens of Debrecen were able to overcome every storm – said László Papp. As he said, we couldn’t say goodbye to the year behind us with unclouded joy. He remembers the difficulties caused by the epidemic situation and then the war, which is why he stated: despite all the unexpected turns, we did not let ourselves be deterred from our goals.
They closed a successful year
László Papp said: all their ideas planned for 2022 were implemented, they were able to implement developments of outstanding importance. He gave as examples the creation of the Csokonai Forum, the creation of the Sziget-kék playground, the handing over of the last section of the downtown relief road, and the complete renewal of Bethlen Street and University Avenue. He also said that the first phase of the renovation of Kishegyesi út has been completed, Petőfi tér has been renovated, and – just like the year 2022 – the Green City program in Tócóskert has also come to an end. He added that there are also started investments, such as the renovation of the Csokonai Theater or the construction of the Sas utca underground garage. – In addition to all this, Debrecen is home to the largest economic development program in the country, perhaps in Central Europe. In addition to numerous new job-creating investments, an outstanding result of the year 2022 is that the largest investment in Hungary’s history will be realized in Debrecen through CATL’s battery factory, and BMW has also decided to expand its factory under construction, doubling the size of the investment so far, shared the city manager.
He put it this way: stability is a condition for development, and he emphasized that in the future Debrecen must be able to move forward despite all the difficulties.
