The building includes a media library, youth centers and three shops.

It was finally the announcement of the amount of subsidies obtained* to finance the construction of the Vendémian Multiservice Center that provoked the first generous round of spontaneous applause. Friday evening, after months of work, the time had finally come to inaugurate the structure located “in the beating heart of Vendémian”, formulated the president of the CCVH, Jean François Soto. An achievement that links within it a media library, the Youth Center and three new businesses: a grocery store, a bakery and a butcher-caterer in a project that will have been quickly imagined "after the closure of the old village grocery store, in 2022", recalled the mayor of Vendémian, David Cablat. And, with 77%¨of subsidies, the mayor and the municipal team "have done well “managed” to obtain the necessary subsidies. In the end, this equipment costs less than 400 &euro for each and every one of you – (As against approximately 1583 €, per inhabitant, at the start)", calculated the senator and regional councillor Hussein Bourgi, for the attention of the people of Vendemiana who are, after all, "the first contributors to this very innovative project, greeted Nicole Morère. Vice President of the Department delegated to general administration, she added: Ten years ago, I think that no mayor had the idea of ​​associating, in a single building, commerce, the media library and youth".

A "multivirtuous"multi-use

It must be said that the assembly of a multi-use structure promotes fundraising. "The grouping of businesses and public spaces makes it easier to apply for funding. Each organization, each financer intervenes according to its area of ​​expertise, thus, the subsidies are accumulated and optimized", confirms the village's chief magistrate and school teacher. A montage that could also set a precedent. In any case, this is the wish of the sub-prefect, Eric Suzanne, who is proactive in an achievement and a method that the state representative intends to erect as a “demonstrator”. “I had asked for quality architecture and to mix uses, this was done with, on the ground floor, private (shops), and, upstairs, territorial public”. In addition, multifunctionality “is essential because we have less and less land to build on. We must maintain agricultural land. Zero net artificialization is having trouble getting through to people's minds." The Vendémian Multiservice Center therefore also has the utility of illustrating this message.

Assembly: Total cost: 1.88 M€. DSIL State 520,000 €, Drac State: 81,000 €. Department: 580,000 €. CCVH 145,000 €. Caf 69,000 €. Region 40,000 €. This leaves approximately 445,000 € financed by the municipality. I subscribe to read the rest
