Today is a festive day for the Elver care organisation at the Holterweg in Doetinchem. This morning, three two-storey residential units were completed there. The go-ahead for the new construction, which will provide accommodation for 48 residents, was given in mid-2020. The construction at the Holterweg was realised under the supervision of IAA Architecten and in cooperation with construction partner KlaassenGroep. In the coming weeks, the finishing touches will be added so that the residents can move into their new home in the beginning of June. Read more

Water Authority Vechtstromen is always looking for innovative solutions to complex issues relating to water quality, climate change and sustainability.
