Stu­die zu Unter­stüt­zungs­mög­lich­kei­ten

Die Folgen der Teuerungs- und Energiekrise sind nach wie vor deutlich spürbar und, davon gehen alle Prognosen aus, werden uns auch 2023 weiterhin begleiten. Zur Abfederung der teils massiven Teuerungen, vor allem im Energiebereich, wurden bereits im vergangenen Jahr mehrere Unterstützungspakete auf Bundes- und Landesebene geschnürt. Auch der Innsbrucker Gemeinderat beschloss im Juni 2022 ein Hilfspaket in der Höhe von 2,7 Millionen Euro. Vergangenen Mittwoch stellte Studienautor Leonhard Dobusch die Machbarkeitsstudie „Innsbruck Aktiv gegen Teuerung“ vor.
