COMMUNE DE POLIGNY

What COMMUNE DE POLIGNY does

The Commune de Poligny (legal name VILLE DE POLIGNY, DBA Mairie de Poligny) is a French municipal government entity serving approximately 5,000+ residents in Poligny, Jura, Grand Est region. Founded as an administrative unit with documented origins in 870 CE (Treaty of Meerssen reference as Polemniacum) and operationally constituted under its current commune form in 1790, it delivers the standard catalogue of municipal services: administrative procedures (Carte Nationale d'Identité and passport applications handled via the Pôle Administratif), urban planning, public information, community programs for youth, families and residents, and rental of municipal facilities (salle des fêtes, G. LAMY meeting room with 50 seats, E. HERZOG meeting room with 69 seats, and a municipal minibus). Digital service delivery is provided through the official website ville-poligny.fr, which features accessibility contrast modes (V1, V2, V3), online appointment scheduling with 20-minute time slots, venue reservation calendars, newsletter subscription, Poligny Com' digital magazine on Calameo, an Alerte Mairie notification system, and TIPI online payment integration. The site is built and maintained by Jordel Médias (Doucier) and hosted by Planet Work. The commune also functions as a co-location host for a regionally significant agrifood and scientific cluster, including ENILBIO dairy school (250+ students/yr), INRA research unit (analytical techniques, cheese characterization, microbiological ecosystem studies), LDA 39 lab (45 employees, 1,000+ clients), CIGC, CTFC, CECALAIT (500+ clients), FDCL (70 cooperatives), and an INAO antenna managing AOC certifications for 4 cheeses and 6 wine products. Its legal status is a public administrative entity (government_state_entity) with no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no equity ownership; it is governed by an elected municipal council and administered by appointed staff. The input indicates ~9 employees on the stated payroll disclosure, though this figure appears to capture a narrow subset rather than total operational personnel for a commune of this population size.

Revenue (i.e., operating budget) is generated through local taxation (taxe foncière, taxe d'habitation, other local levies), state transfers/grants, transaction fees on administrative services, and pay-as-you-go venue rental income. The customer base is the residential population plus secondary segments of local businesses/artisans, tourists and visitors, and ENILBIO students. Geographic scope is single-country/domestic, restricted to the Poligny commune territory. No commercial product roadmap, funding rounds, M&A activity, or equity investment vehicle exists for this entity.
