Empty properties cost the municipality millions

It is since the municipality gathered a number of businesses under one roof in connection with the new construction Diamanten that they are now left with empty properties that cost money.

The manager: "A million"

In addition to the two properties that are now for sale, the former Älvgården nursing home is empty. There are plans for that property to be converted into sheltered housing, but that is not the club.

At the same time, the municipality must bear the costs of the empty and unsold buildings.

- It is an amount of millions that is ticking away, says property manager Hans Edlund.

Has lowered the price

The starting price for the Johannesgården nursing home has been significantly reduced, from SEK 2.8 million to one million. But despite the reduction, the house of almost 600 square meters has not been sold. The Örnen preschool is also for sale with the requirement that the property also be moved.

- Things are going a bit slowly, even if there have been a few speculators, nothing is ready until it is signed, says Edlund and continues:

- If we do not get interested parties in the near future, our proposal will be demolished.
