The modernization of railway stations in Rzeszów and Chełm will be the first projects under the European Funds for Eastern Poland (FEPW) program, receiving PLN 56.4 million in EU co-financing. These investments fall under the Second Regional Railway Infrastructure Action, the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy (MFiPR) announced. Applications for the action are open until 18 December 2025, with a total program budget of EUR 690 million.
“These modernized railway stations in Rzeszów and Chełm will offer improved functionality and be better adapted to the needs of travelers. A total of PLN 82.1 million has been allocated for these projects, with PLN 56.4 million coming from EU co-financing,” the ministry stated.
The European Funds for Eastern Poland program continues to support development in the country’s eastern voivodships, including Warmińsko-Mazurskie, Podlaskie, Lubelskie, Świętokrzyskie, Podkarpackie, and parts of Mazowieckie (excluding Warsaw and nine surrounding districts). The program focuses on investments in small and medium-sized enterprises, climate adaptation projects, zero-emission urban mobility, biodiversity protection, intelligent energy networks, enhanced rail and road accessibility, and sustainable tourism.
With a budget of EUR 2.65 billion for the years 2021–2027, the FEPW program aims to advance infrastructure and socio-economic development in Eastern Poland, fostering innovation and connectivity across the region.
