Créée en 1999, l’agence de développement économique de l’agglomération d’Alès fête, ce mardi 1er octobre, son premier quart de siècle.

1,300 companies and projects supported in 25 years. A result that will undoubtedly be highlighted with a hint of pride at the anniversary party planned at the mechanical center this Tuesday, October 1st. In front of a group of guests, the Agglo will celebrate, for one evening, the quarter century of its economic development agency.
