"Action cœur de ville" programme: Saumur, Chinon and Blois to get a helping hand

The programme has 2 key aims: 

• improving the living conditions of mid-sized city residents,
• boosting their role as driving forces in local area development.

The towns set to benefit from this programme are expected to draw up a five-year framework agreement with the State for revitalising their downtown area. 

One of the main focus areas particularly entails enhancing urban forms, the public space and heritage. The other focus areas concern the renovation and redevelopment of town centre housing, economic and commercial development, access to public services and amenities and more generally accessibility, mobility and connections. 

Over €5bn worth of investment is being ring-fenced to address this key challenge for territorial cohesion.
