City of Brno Opens Subsidy Program To Fund Green Roofs To Reduce Emissions
Sourced from Brno Daily
The City of Brno Department of the Environment (OŽP) is again offering citizens and businesses financial support to create green roofs on their buildings, to reduce emissions and fight climate change. In the last two years, 204 applications for subsidies were successfully submitted under this program. In this year’s call, open from February 1st until October 31st, OŽP has so far received three complete applications. For 2021, the city has set aside CZK 19 million for these subsidies.
After successfully receiving approval for financial assistance, applicants will have 18 months to complete their green roof, before submitting a final report and related financial documents so the subsidy can be calculated. Finished projects are therefore being evaluated and approved continuously. Last Wednesday, councillors recommended that the assembly approve subsidies for a further eight projects. According to Deputy Mayor Petr Hladík (KDU-CSL), these projects include family homes, a garage and an industrial park.
