Although the exact geographical centre lies within Buggenhout, Puurs-Sint-Amands holds a strategic advantage. Mayor Hermans explains that the link between the centre and the three-province point mainly crosses Puurs-Sint-Amands territory. How will this influence local tourism and community pride?
With the site near Lippelobos forest, could this redevelopment become a gateway that draws more visitors to the region? The project is expected to be completed by spring 2026, promising new opportunities for the municipality and its residents.
Why is Puurs-Sint-Amands investing so heavily in this project? It’s a strategic move to enhance local identity and attract visitors to its natural and cultural assets. The redevelopment could:
- Position the geographical centre as a key regional landmark
- Increase visitor numbers to Lippelobos and nearby villages like Lippelo
- Strengthen community ties by celebrating local geography
As work progresses toward 2026, residents and visitors alike can look forward to a refreshed site that invites exploration and appreciation of Puurs-Sint-Amands’ unique location. Will this project inspire similar initiatives elsewhere in Belgium?
