THE TOWN OF KECHNEC
Kechnec started its new history after it became independent on December 1,
1990. Between 1964 and 1986 it had been part of town of Hraničná pri
Hornáde. Later, in 1986, three original towns, Seňa, Kechnec and Milhosť, were
merged into one.
Kechnec is currently a Slovak-Hungarian town, in which the Slovak and
Hungarian populations are about the same size.
Since 1991 the population has increased by 24 % and currently we are
recording about 1010 citizens. More than
60 % of the population is in the productive age and the unemployment rate
in the town is about 6 %.
The development of the town is based on a comprehensive approach and takes into
account all levels of the society – the children, young people, employed
population, and retired generation. Our goal is to create conditions for quality
life of all our citizens – students, businesspeople, investors, and aging
population – as well as visitors to the town.
The town has contracted most of its projects through its own construction
company – Poľnohospodársko-stavebná výroba obce Kechnec, LLC. Besides its
economic benefits, the construction company decreases unemployment as its
employees are former unemployed citizens of Kechnec.
