We are able to co-fund these projects via national and European Union Structural Funds.
Regional land use planning takes into account national land use guidelines and foster them on a regional level. The Regional Plan acts as a guideline for land use plans on the municipal level as well as for bigger individual land use projects.

The Regional Council, together with other regional stakeholders, promotes the interests of the region in the national decision making. Interest promotion on the European Union level is carried out in co-operation with the Helsinki EU Office in Brussels and within an international organization, the Conference of Maritime Peripheral Regions (CPMR).
