Communauté de Communes des Vosges du sud

What Communauté de Communes des Vosges du sud does

Communauté de Communes des Vosges du Sud (CCVS) is a French Établissement Public de Coopération Intercommunale (EPCI) created on January 1, 2017 through the merger of the Communauté de communes de la Haute Savoureuse and the Communauté de communes du Pays sous vosgien. Headquartered in Étueffont in the Territoire de Belfort department, it serves as the intercommunal authority for 22 communes covering approximately 15,046 inhabitants in the Franche-Comté region. CCVS operates approximately 16 administrative staff and delivers a comprehensive portfolio of public services across its territory, including: urban planning administration (ADS instruction, PLUi), economic development (business support, vacant premises exchange, available land registry), tourism promotion (tourist information office, heritage sites), environmental services (collective and non-collective sanitation, GEMAPI flood prevention), early childhood services (3 multi-accueils, RPE, LAEP, 86 licensed childcare assistants), youth services (2 E3 creative hubs), cultural services (5 médiathèques), recreational infrastructure (Piscine intercommunale Béatrice Hess, which CCVS took over managing on January 1, 2025), school transport, and périscolaire services across 7 sites.

CCVS is funded through a mix of local taxation (taxe foncière, contribution économique territoriale), state subsidies including DETR (Dotation d'Équipement des Territoires Ruraux) and ANAH grants, and user fees for specific facilities (swimming pool admissions, community hall rentals, périscolaire contributions). The entity operates under the regulatory framework of French public law and is governed by a conseil communautaire composed of elected municipal representatives, with Jean-Luc ANDERHUEBER re-elected as President in April 2026 alongside seven vice-presidents. The GTM motion is community-led: services are delivered through a physical network of offices, mediathèques, crèches, and youth hubs, complemented by an informational website and a Facebook page. No external investment is involved; ownership is collective across member communes. The most significant recent strategic actions include the approval of the PLUi in November 2025, the ongoing reconstruction of the headquarters access bridge (April-September 2026), and the 2020 signature of the ORT convention with the French State and EPF Doubs Bourgogne Franche-Comté for territorial revitalization.
