Communauté d'Agglomération Saint-Avold Synergie

What Communauté d'Agglomération Saint-Avold Synergie does

Communauté d'Agglomération Saint-Avold Synergie (CASAS) is a French Établissement Public de Coopération Intercommunale (EPCI) — a public territorial collectivity — established in 2000 and governing 41 communes in the Moselle department of the Grand Est region around the city of Saint-Avold. Led by President Salvatore COSCARELLA and a conseil communautaire, CASAS delivers a broad portfolio of intercommunal public services to residents, businesses, and partner organizations across the territory. The organization has a small core administrative team of 10 staff supported by an extensive partner ecosystem that executes most operational service delivery.

CASAS's service portfolio spans six principal domains: (i) environmental services including household waste collection, déchèteries, composting, and recycling in coordination with the Sydeme departmental syndicate; (ii) water distribution and sanitation operated through a régie with online billing at portailabonnes.agglo-saint-avold.fr; (iii) mobility infrastructure including TransAvold public transport, the BlaBlaCar Daily carpooling platform launched September 2024, Wimoov mobility assistance, an electric bike purchase subsidy, and a Maison de la Mobilité hub; (iv) economic development via the AMIE57 property aid program (co-financed with the Department of Moselle) and the Initiative Moselle Est platform, which disbursed €730,000 in honor loans to 56 enterprises in 2023; (v) housing policy, formalized through the Programme Local de l'Habitat validated in December 2024 and operational since March 2025, complemented by France Rénov', OPAH, and ADIL 57 advisory services; and (vi) tourism, culture, and community life through the Complexe Nautique aquatic center, Office de Tourisme, and events including the Festival Mi-Fa-Saulnois and Salon CEM57.

Revenue is generated through statutory local taxation (fiscalité locale), water/sanitation usage fees, waste collection fees, administrative fees, and earmarked subsidies such as the €15,880 annual contribution to Initiative Moselle Est. Distribution occurs through four physical access points (Saint-Avold HQ, Morhange, Europort Service Environnement, Maison de la Mobilité), digital portals, the Panneau Pocket mobile alert application, and event venues. The underlying technology stack is a digital service-delivery platform comprising connected waste collection calendars, the water billing portal, pluvial zoning documentation, an accessibility declaration system compliant with Article 47 of French law n°2005-102, and online event management — functionally equivalent to a municipal e-government stack rather than a commercial product platform.

Scale indicators10 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Toulouse Métropole: Large French métropole with mature PLH, France Rénov' delegation, and integrated public mobility stack — a useful comparator for evaluating CASAS's policy frameworks and partnership models at greater scale.
• Bordeaux Métropole: Large French communauté urbaine operating an integrated mobility, housing (PLH), waste, and economic development portfolio. Useful as a scaled incumbent reference for how digital/operational standards in waste-collection calendars and water billing get implemented nationwide.
• Eurométropole de Strasbourg: Larger EPCI in the Grand Est region encompassing Strasbourg and ~33 communes, with analogous transit (CTS), housing (PLH), and waste-service competencies. Operates as a broader incumbent reference point rather than head-to-head competitor.

Others

• ANCT (Agence Nationale de la Cohésion des Territoires): National agency administering several programs tied to CASAS's territory priorities — France Services, Petites Villes de Demain, Villes et Quartiers — making it an enabling ecosystem rather than competitor.
• Initiative France: National network of which Initiative Moselle Est (CASAS's partner) is a member. Provides the honor-loan product, coaching frameworks, and the 92% three-year survival benchmark cited in CASAS materials.
• Sydeme (Syndicat Départemental pour la Gestion des Déchets de Moselle): Departmental waste-management syndicate that is both partner and functional peer for CASAS's waste competency. Comparable scope (waste collection, déchèteries, environmental education) at département rather than intercommunal scale.

Direct peers

• Metz Métropole: Communauté d'agglomération governing ~45 communes in the Moselle department. Direct EPCI peer with overlapping competencies (waste, water, mobility, economic development) in the same Grand Est region, making policy/comparison benchmarking direct.
• Nancy Grand Cœur / Métropole du Grand Nancy: EPCI serving ~20 communes in adjacent Meurthe-et-Moselle département, with comparable mid-sized agglomeration competencies and shared Grand Est institutional relationships (Préfecture, Departmental Council).
