Communauté De Communes Coeur De Charente

What Communauté De Communes Coeur De Charente does

Communauté de Communes Cœur de Charente (CDC) is a French public intercommunal cooperation establishment (Établissement public de coopération intercommunale, EPCI) headquartered at 10 Route de Paris, Tourriers, in the Charente department of southwestern France (Nouvelle-Aquitaine region). It exercises statutory public-service competencies across ten areas: waste management, urban planning, economy and employment, tourism and heritage, leisure facilities, environment, housing and living environment, childhood and youth services, culture and public reading, and sanitation. Service delivery is hybrid: the CDC directly operates three intercommunal leisure centers (Aigre, Mansle-les-Fontaines, Vars), two community libraries (Tusson, Saint-Fraigne), three youth spaces, a swimming pool, an equestrian center, and 22 social housing units, while delegating on-site management of certain facilities to partners such as the Centre Social et Culturel du Pays Manslois and cultural associations including 'les 3aiRes'.

The business model is public-sector funding: revenue is sourced from local taxes and levies on residents and businesses within the territory (taxe foncière, cotisation foncière des entreprises), subsidies and grants from the Département de la Charente and national agencies (notably ANAH for the 'Habiter mieux' housing program), plus a small volume of unit-priced service fees for childcare, leisure centers, ludothèque, libraries, and the école multisports d'Aigre (e.g., €5/day leisure center fees scaled to family quotient, €40/year école multisports). Pricing is publicly disclosed and tiered by household income. Underlying technology is a standard WordPress-based public website; there is no proprietary technology, no disclosed AI/ML capability, no APIs, and no mobile application.

Customers are the residents, families, children, local businesses, and associations of the member communes; no commercial customer concentration exists. Distribution is through direct walk-in facilities, satellite offices in Mansle-les-Fontaines, La Boixe (Vars), and Aigre, an online portal, and a semi-annual community magazine (Mag communautaire). Recent strategic activity includes the development of an on-demand transport service (TAD), Modification n°2 of the PLUi, an OPAH housing program, and the Maisons Rouges business park in Chenon.
