,,The ambitions are indeed strong”, says Elles Dost, director of Lefier. This housing corporation has about ten thousand homes in Groningen. “We are facing a very complex issue that includes new construction, demolition/new construction and sustainability. The abolition of the levy creates financial opportunities. We have sufficient resources for the next eight to ten years. After that it’s uncertain.”
