The town of Jevíčko in the Svitavsko Region is completing 34 plots for family houses. It will sell them at a lower price than the actual cost. The town hall wants Jevíčko not to lose inhabitants. It will cost around 35 million crowns to develop the site, the Mayor Dušan Pávek (Naše Jevíčko 2022) announced.
“This is a site in the west of the town where we are selling land for individual construction. We are building utilities, water, sewerage, and roads. The first houses could be started by builders in September this year. Half the lots are sold. People have reserved most of the other plots, they have made a financial deposit and we want to sign more purchase contracts this year,” Pávek said.
The city started preparing the land last year. The work will finish this September. Only the asphalt surfaces of the roads will be done by the city once the houses are built. During the construction of the houses, heavy equipment will be driving there, which could damage the road. “That’s why we’ll do the final carpet of asphalt in 2026,” Peacock said.
People pay CZK 1,300 per square metre. The city paid around CZK 2,000 per metre. So the price for buyers is discounted. The plots are 650 to 700 square metres in size.
“We are subsidising the development of the site so that we don’t run out of citizens. We are trying to build mainly housing and promote employment in the long term. In the last 15 years, 50 family houses have been built here, and on one estate the developer built 32 new flats and eight terraced houses,” Pávek said.
Jevíčko had 2,734 inhabitants in January last year, compared to 100 more in 2011. According to the mayor, the population decline would have been higher if the town had not been built. The new site with 34 plots is in a nice location, he added.
“It’s quite close to the sports complex, where there are tennis courts, a swimming pool, a sports hall. At the same time, it’s about half a kilometer from the city centre and close to schools,” the Mayor said.
