100 Thousand Employment, 10 Thousand Housing

Mayor Yücel Yılmaz said that they will continue to manage Balıkesir together with the people of Balıkesir with 100 Projects in the 100th Year.A story began in 2014. I would like to thank our organizations, especially our President, and those who support us wholeheartedly. You can't build a wall with a stone. No matter what position you are in, you cannot do anything with the word "I". This is where the saying "We succeeded together" comes from. There are 7 thousand 690 personnel under the promise of "we succeeded together". I applaud them all. All of these personnel are organic and children of Balıkesir; He is not transferred from outside, he lives here. We succeeded together with them. What we do is the guarantee of what we will do. I live in Balıkesir, my children, my family are in Balıkesir, I do business in Balıkesir. We have established structures that listen to everyone. We established City Council and Strategic Planning Offices, we keep the pulse of the city. We knead the energy we receive with the sweat of our minds. Then these projects are created. We have concerns about seizing the day, preparing the city for the future, and preparing the city in the best possible way for young people. It is every captain's duty to dock the ship in calm weather. But otherwise, it requires courage, self-confidence and hard work. I didn't do anything alone. We work together with our 20 districts without discrimination. These things don't happen by chance. It's easy to say we will do it. These things cannot happen without human resources and management resources." said.
