Following the many years of gas extraction in Groningen and North Drenthe and the subsequent problems, the government wants to generously compensate the region. That is why started making a new start, or: a nij begun.

Over the next thirty years, there will be a lot of investments in the region to brush away sustainable backlogs, to increase opportunities in the area and to flourish liveability.

The government works for this with three different ‘agendas’: a social (to promote the quality of life), an economic (to promote prosperity) and an insulation agenda (to achieve the sustainability objectives in the region).

Quartermaker Henk Nijboer presented the social agenda at the end of January. Jakob Klompien is the quartermaster for the economic.
