Kralovice in the Plzeň Region with 3 500 inhabitants is preparing plots for 29 family houses. The town is investing CZK 48 million in the preparation of the Nad rybníkem residential zone in the direction of Rokycany. It is the biggest budget expenditure in recent years. The first houses will be built there in spring, according to Mayor Karel Popel (BEZPP, Choice for Active Use of Time).
“We are doing sewerage, water supply and roads there, it’s very much under construction. Only after completion will we start selling the plots,” Popel said. The city started construction from its own money without subsidies in March and should have it finished by the end of the year.
“This is the biggest offer of plots the municipality has ever prepared. There are opportunities to build here, but on private land,” Popel said. Last fall, councillors approved the price of a fully developed plot at CZK 1,750 per square metre. “We are reserving it for now, we will sell it after the zone is completed,” he said. There are almost 20 interested parties who have paid the CZK 50,000 reservation fee, many of whom live in the town or have ties to it. “We are happy for this because we would like the locals to stay here, it is mainly for them that we are doing this,” he said.
There are conditions in the contracts as to when the buyer must get a building permit, build a foundation and have a description number. “It’s taken care of so that the land is actually built as soon as possible, so that the land doesn’t lie fallow,” the mayor said.
The Nad rybníkem site is located by the Plzeň – Most bypass in the direction of Lednice and further on to Rokycany.
Kralovice will also reclaim the former municipal waste dump on the outskirts of the town, which is already full and closed, for CZK 16 million by the end of the year. A four-hectare area will be turned into a lawn and nothing can be built there for 30 years.
The regional road administration is also starting to build a roundabout near the practical school in the town. “We are contributing pavements, public lighting and a bus stop. And we are also reconstructing a street where a water main is being relaid,” the mayor added.
