Thurgau Steps In for "Wil West" Project

Published: 2024-10-08

The "Wil West" project aims to transform the barren land between St.

Gallen and Thurgau into a thriving area with 3,000 new jobs.

However, the St.

Gallen electorate has rejected the funding proposal.

Now, the Canton of Thurgau is stepping in to purchase the land from St.

Gallen, hoping to push the project forward.

This development could significantly boost the local economy and employment opportunities.

Meanwhile, a separate political issue arises as Eveline Ketterer, a candidate from the "Aufrecht" party, files a complaint against the results of the St.

Gallen city parliamentary elections.

In another regional development, the Swiss Football Association (SFV) is reconsidering its plans to build a federation center, initially intended for the city of Chur.
