COEUR DE SAVOIE

What COEUR DE SAVOIE does

COEUR DE SAVOIE (Communauté de communes Cœur de Savoie) is a French public intercommunal cooperation establishment (Établissement Public de Coopération Intercommunale) that pools the resources of 41 communes in the Savoie department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region to deliver shared public services. Headquartered in Montmélian at 228 Place Albert Serraz, the structure is led by President Béatrice SANTAIS and governed by elected municipal officials from each member commune. The organization operates as a public territorial collectivity under French law rather than as a private commercial entity.

The entity's core service portfolio spans sanitation (collective wastewater treatment and SPANC non-collective sanitation with fees ranging from €50-€200), drinking water coordination, waste management (selective sorting, composting, recyclerie), agricultural and food policy (Projet Agricole et Alimentaire du Territoire covering 388 farms and 11,340 hectares of agricultural land), environmental transition (Plan Climat 2020-2026 extended by Plan Climat Saison 2 covering 2027-2033), economic development (five business parks, three incubators, coworking spaces), and a wide range of social services including early childhood, youth programs, elderly care via CIAS, cultural activities, and mobility infrastructure. Sector-based sanitation technicians (Mathilde Bourgeois, Xavier Kupkowski, Pauline Bezout, Lucile Chevallier, Pierre-Marie Fèvre, Matthieu Le Fur) provide territorial coverage across color-coded geographic zones.

Revenue is generated primarily through local taxation (fiscalité locale) including property and business taxes from the 41 member communes, supplemented by departmental and European grants (LEADER 2023-2027), nominal user fees for specific services such as SPANC controls, and government transfers. The structure has no private ownership, no investors, and no commercial shareholders; it does not publish revenue figures. Utility services for water and sanitation emergencies are outsourced to SAUR, SUEZ, and VEOLIA depending on commune. Website infrastructure is hosted by Orange Business Services in an eco-efficient data center. The entity is GDPR-compliant (RGPD) with its website serving as the primary digital portal for citizen services.
