The city council has now decided who will receive part of the district funds 2019. Unfortunately there will be no money for the project Långåljusnan. Board for long FVOF announced last August that there was a future need for a total 1,5 millions of bygdemedel for Långåljusnan project during 2019 and 2020. Then made a formal application in October of 750 000 SEK, the time when the applications would be included in the provincial government.

Unfortunately we did not understand our need to continue the project to restore Långåljusnan after the damage caused by floating and power expansion, says Helge Jonsson. The municipal leaders do not prioritize bygdemedel for co-financing of the project is completely incomprehensible to us.

The municipality has stated that there were an unusually large number of applications, more than double the funds available. Another reason is said to be that the municipality wants to take a comprehensive approach to the whole Ljusnan by Härjedalen. The tanks are so far on the 'idea stage' and the municipality's assessment is that it will take three to five years before the project gets the. But in that case it is a welcome initiative, according to the board in long FVOF. Härjedalen has many opportunities to offer more of the prime fishing than it is today. The fact that the initiative comes about is important, but it is not helpful to us right now, says Helge. We need to complete the investment in Långåljusnan. A break would increase the cost significantly and also destroy the organization we have created for the project.

There is also extra concern because it is urgent to take measures to mitigate the effects of climate change, so that we experienced last year by a lack of oxygen in the waters and dry bottoms in many parts of the tributaries. Against this background, we have 'upgraded' project,

– Of course, we think it is worrying that we can not get bygdemedel to a project that is in line with what the funds will be used to, says Helge Jonsson.
