New concept for the Klanghaus Toggenburg
The regional task force commissioned by the St. Gallen government presents a revised concept for the Klanghaus Toggenburg.
According to the press release from the canton of St. Gallen, the Klanghaus with its expanded range of activities will be more closely embedded in the tourist region. In addition, the Klangwelt Toggenburg Foundation intends to operate the house at its own expense in future as part of a new financing model. The first proposal for the construction of the Klanghaus Toggenburg did not achieve the required qualified majority in the final vote of the cantonal council in March 2016.
The government subsequently gave a regional task force the opportunity to revise the project without repeating the extensive approval processes. The members of the task force are the Klangwelt Toggenburg Foundation, the Toggenburg region, the municipality of Wildhaus-Alt St. Johann, Toggenburg Tourism and the Chur University of Applied Sciences (HTW).
The government adopted the revised dispatch for the Cantonal Council in mid-August. Parliament will discuss the bill in November 2018 and February 2019. If the Cantonal Council approves the bill, voters are expected to vote on it on June 30, 2019.
