Purchase of Kellokoski Hospital properties and land for the municipality

Initiative done  Initiative type Council initiatives Initiative author Seppälä Antti ja useat muut valtuutetut Initiative status Processed

The Kellokoski hospital has largely ceased operations in recent years. The hospital area is located in the centre of Kellokoski and, together with its land, occupies a central position in terms of the village’s activities and development. I propose that the municipality immediately begin negotiations with HUS to purchase the buildings and land so that the area can be developed in the long term and in the interests of the village.

In the same context, it would be good to start negotiations with Kiinteistö Oy Kellokosken Tehtaat regarding the purchase of the area. Like the hospital, the factory area is located in the centre of Kellokoski, and its determined development will increase the village’s appeal. There are already dozens of companies operating in the factory area, and the municipality, as the owner of the area, would be in the best position to support their activities. By acquiring ownership of the hospital and factory areas, the municipality would have the opportunity to positively influence the development of the area and the companies operating there, promote the cohesion of the village centre and, on the other hand, maintain the cultural and historical value of the centre.
