Overview

• The plan guarantees at least a 5% increase in municipal funding from the KFA in 2026 and 2027, roughly €360 million next year and €370 million the year after.
• The Greens propose routing 80% of Hessen’s share of the federal infrastructure special fund to local governments, enabling a municipal investment program of about €6 billion.
• An extra €300 million from a federal-state education package would flow entirely to municipalities to modernize vocational schools and implement full‑day primary care for primary pupils starting next year.
• The proposal forms an eight‑point ‘Zukunftspakt Kommunen’ that also raises state operating subsidies for municipal Kitas by 2.5% annually and sets aside more money for hospital reform.
• The package would cost the state roughly €400 million next year, presses for a long‑delayed KFA reform, and contrasts with coalition signals ranging from just over half to three quarters of federal funds for municipalities.
