Moerdijk residents cautiously optimistic about preserving the village, but want guarantees

The municipality of Moerdijk initially decided to dissolve the village due to industrial expansion. However, plans have changed, reducing the required space from 450 to 200 hectares. This new scenario is not yet finalized, as further studies on livability and industrial prospects are needed. Local officials view the potential preservation of Moerdijk positively but express concerns over insufficient justification for a final decision. Residents remain apprehensive, seeking clarity and guarantees regarding the village's future. The Secretary of State will explain the plans to stakeholders soon.
