After the mayor's dismissal, a new committee is planned in Rēzekne
A new committee is set to be established in Rēzekne to support economic development and investment attraction following the mayor's dismissal.
In the aftermath of the mayor's dismissal, the Rēzekne municipality plans to create a new committee that will require additional budget expenditures starting in 2026 due to the paid position of the committee chair. This initiative stems from proposed amendments to the municipal regulations aimed at establishing a committee for economic development, investment promotion, and sustainability. It highlights the local government's recognition of the importance of fostering a favorable investment environment to boost economic growth and ensure effective mobilization of resources.
The rationale behind establishing this committee is to enhance the municipal developmental dynamics by attracting favorable investments for businesses, promoting local enterprise growth, and strategically utilizing economic potential. It is stated in the explanatory note for the amendments that these efforts are essential for integrating economic strategies into the city’s long-term development plan. By addressing these aspects, the municipality aims to not only recover from the recent political turbulence but also to stabilize and advance its economic standing.
Moreover, creating the new committee is seen as necessary for providing a professional and coordinated approach to matters related to economic environment development, investment strategies, and business growth. With the plans in place, local authorities express their commitment to leveraging existing economic conditions to facilitate sustained development and improve the quality of life for residents in Rēzekne. The implications of these changes could significantly influence the future economic landscape of the region and strengthen the municipality's capability to respond to ongoing economic challenges.
