Communauté d'agglomération Mont Saint-Michel - Normandie

What Communauté d'agglomération Mont Saint-Michel - Normandie does

Communauté d'agglomération Mont Saint-Michel - Normandie is a French public intercommunal authority (Établissement Public de Coopération Intercommunale — EPCI) established in 2017 and headquartered at 1 rue Général Ruel, Avranches (Manche, Normandy). It pools public-service competencies across approximately 115 communes in the southern Manche department, serving local residents, businesses, and visitors around the Mont Saint-Michel territory. The body is governed by elected community representatives with David Nicolas serving as Président.

Its operating perimeter is unusually broad for an agglomeration of its size (103 employees): waste management and prevention (including 12 déchèteries, household collection, and the PLPDMA program targeting 15% per-capita waste reduction by 2030); mobility (€200 electric-bike subsidies and the Rezo Pouce hitchhiking platform); early childhood and youth (a network of crèches, halte-garderies, 11 Relais Petite Enfance, and ludothèques); healthcare infrastructure (pôles and maisons de santé); cultural services (a médiathèque network, École des Arts, and a cultural season platform); sports facilities (Aqua Baie aquatic center and additional pools); administrative support (11 France Services locations and 7 Espaces Publics Numériques); economic development (coworking, business zones, and the Impulsion Relance Normandie program); and environmental management (GEMAPI flood-prevention works). The proprietary touchpoints include the "Application Michel" waste-sorting app (developed by Trizzy) and digital self-service via msm-normandie.fr.

The revenue model is that of a French local authority: pooled local taxation (taxe foncière, CFE, GEMAPI tax, taxe de séjour), government grants and subsidies from the État, Région Normandie, Département de la Manche, and Banque des Territoires, supplemented by user fees on swimming pools, crèches, ludothèques, and professional waste collection (redevance spéciale). Distribution is entirely physical/regional — direct service delivery through public facilities and partner offices — with a multi-channel communication stack (website, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, quarterly magazine "L'agglo et vous") rather than commercial go-to-market. The entity is not a private commercial company; it has no shareholders, no funding rounds, and does not publish commercial revenue.
