Berg hunts "invisible" residents - wants more people to sign up in the municipality

It's in a hurry. On the first of November, the municipality must report the number of inhabitants. Each municipality resident is estimated to give the municipality SEK 85,000 per year. It is about tax revenue and government subsidies.

- Now we are working hard and fast to get those who live here, but who have not registered here, to do so, says Jenny Nylund.

100 new mountain dwellers?

Jenny Nylund dreams of 100 new mountain dwellers. It would give the municipality eight to nine million kroner.

- 100 is of course a lot, but only 10 new residents mean a lot to a small municipality.

Seasonals are not priority one. Two other groups are targeted.

- Students, including those on the nursing course, they live here but few are registered in Berg. Then there are more and more people who live most of the year in their holiday homes. We hope and believe that they want to be involved and contribute to the municipality in which they live.

Now posters are to be published, postcards are to be posted and posts in various social media are to be published.

- Many do not know what it means for us if they sign up here. They might think it's just about the mail.
