Communauté de Communes de la Porte des Vosges Méridionales

What Communauté de Communes de la Porte des Vosges Méridionales does

Communauté de Communes de la Porte des Vosges Méridionales (CCPVM) is a French Établissement Public de Coopération Intercommunale (EPCI) — a public intercommunal cooperative authority — established in 2017 through the merger of Communauté de Communes de la Porte des Hautes-Vosges, Communauté de Communes des Vosges Méridionales, and the commune of Saint-Amé. Headquartered in Saint-Étienne-lès-Remiremont (Grand Est region, Vosges department), it coordinates public services across 10 communes serving approximately 30,000 inhabitants, with a staff of 23 employees. Its mandate covers sports (LA LIGNE swimming pools, Service Intercommunal des Sports, VTT stadium, trail circuits), culture (LE CUBE music school, LE CERCLE three-branch médiathèque, Micro-Folie, CTEAC, La Dizaine des Arts festival), early childhood (LA RONDE Relais Petite Enfance, multi-accueil crèches), daily-life services (Régie des Eaux water/sanitation utility, France Rénov' advisory, urban planning, PLUi), environment (GEMAPI, Natura 2000, biodiversity atlas, climate plan), mobility (fiber optic, shuttles), and economic development (business zones, enterprise aid, the 'Boutique' call for projects, partnership with Initiative Hautes Vosges).

The underlying technology platform is a standard public-sector web stack: WordPress with Elementor for content management on ccpvm.fr, Google Analytics for traffic measurement, YesWiki powering the Petites Villes de Demain collaborative subdomain (petitesvillesdedemain.ccpvm.fr), and Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn/Instagram/YouTube channels for citizen engagement. No AI/ML, APIs, or proprietary software products are offered. The territorial brand 'Vosges Secrètes' (vosges-secretes.fr) is the primary tourism-promotion identity.

CCPVM is funded as a public administration rather than through commercial pricing. Revenue is generated through local taxation (Cotisation Foncière des Entreprises / CFE, property taxes, taxe de séjour), fees from managed services (water/sanitation, childcare), and grants/subventions from the State (ANAH, ANCT), Région Grand Est, Conseil Départemental des Vosges, Banque des Territoires, and other public partners. Most citizen-facing services (pools, médiathèques, music school) are provided without direct user charges. Specific economic development aids (prêts aux entreprises, aides à l'immobilier) are allocated case-by-case, with €20,000 budgeted for the 2022 Initiative Hautes Vosges business-loan envelope and €2,000 contributed per job created. The governing body is a community council led by Présidente Catherine Louis, with vice-presidents covering economic affairs (Jean Pierre Calmels) and sports (Arnaud Jeannot), and dedicated project managers for the Petites Villes de Demain program across the three pilot towns.
