Planning met with great reservations right from the start
Mayor and head of business Hanno Benz welcomes Aldi Süd's decision not to build the planned second Aldi branch in the Arheilgen district. The mayor had followed this with great political reprint towards Aldi Süd.
He also emphasizes planning director Kolmer: there was very political pressure on the part of the mayor to do without these plans. The original planning, a corresponding decision by the Darmstadt city council and the building permit granted on the part of the city provided for the construction of this branch in Frankfurter Landstrasse, but was controversial from the start, particularly in Arheilgen. Whether Hanno Benz emphasizes: "Once again, planning that had been made without the participation of the citizens failed." The mayor thanked the IGAB for her non -declining commitment on this question. Mayor Hanno Benz continues: “As a city, we of course have an interest in the fact that Aldi Süd is further investing in the Darmstadt location. I therefore stay in conversation with those responsible. Another date is already clear, the next exchange will be in early February. ”
