During a visit to the Bauska District, Finance Minister Arvils Ašeraden (JV) was met with concerns from the local government regarding the new municipal financial equalization model. The municipality's leadership presented demographic trends and challenges impacting service delivery and financial planning, highlighting increasing competition for residents and a growing shortage of workforce. Among the proposed solutions was the development of affordable rental housing, including a new rental building on Ceriņu Street in Bauska, while emphasizing the need for modern infrastructure, public spaces, and recreational opportunities for long-term quality of life.

Discussions also extensively addressed infrastructure issues, such as road quality, transportation accessibility, and the connectivity of the area within the broader municipality. The impact of transit flows on the urban environment was also a significant point of discussion. Furthermore, various major development projects were deliberated, including the Bauska bypass, the "Rail Baltica" railway project, and the development of wind farms, which are anticipated to play a crucial role in the region's future growth and sustainability.
