Clisson Sèvre et Maine Agglo

What Clisson Sèvre et Maine Agglo does

Clisson Sèvre et Maine Agglo is a French Établissement Public de Coopération Intercommunale (EPCI) — a public intergovernmental cooperation structure — created on 1 January 2017 through the merger of two former communautés de communes. It brings together 16 communes in the Loire-Atlantique department and serves a resident population of approximately 58,933. Governance is exercised by a community council of 50 elected officials, including a President, 10 vice-presidents, and 5 delegated advisors; a new President (Jérôme Letourneau) was elected on 14 April 2026 following the latest municipal cycle.

The agglomeration exercises legally mandated compétences in waste management (TEOM-funded), collective sanitation (31 wastewater treatment stations, taken over from communes in 2020), housing policy (Programme Local de l'Habitat 2021–2027 targeting 2,474 units), economic development (L'alter éco), aquatic facilities (Aqua'val, currently subject to the Aqua'val Sèvre 2028 reconstruction program), culture (BRAVOH! network), family and youth services, senior services via the CLIC, mobility, urban planning (PLUi), and GEMAPI flood-risk management. In June 2025 it opened the Maison de l'habitat as a resident-facing one-stop service hub. Service delivery combines physical infrastructure (déchèteries, aquatic centers, cultural venues, a planned 33-site food-waste drop-off network) with a TYPO3-based digital portal ecosystem providing sub-domain access for each service line.

The business model is that of a public administration rather than a commercial enterprise. Operating resources are drawn from local taxation (taxe d'habitation, taxes foncières, CFE, TEOM), institutional grants (Agence de l'eau Loire-Bretagne, DSIL, FEDER, Anah, CAF, Conseil départemental), minor user fees (typically €6–€47 for entry-level services), and partner co-funding from a dense local ecosystem (ACTE 44, France Active, COMPETENCE, L'Ouvre-Boîte, La Solid, Vibrations, Maison de l'emploi). There is no proprietary technology platform, no software product, and no commercial revenue line; financial scale is implicit from per-project capital outlays (€1.5M–€1.9M per wastewater station upgrade) rather than from disclosed budget figures.

Revenue model

1. Local taxation (fiscalité locale): As a public administrative structure (Établissement Public de Coopération Intercommunale - EPCI), the agglomeration is primarily funded through local taxes including the Taxe d'Habitation (historically), Taxe Foncière, Cotisation Foncière des Entreprises (CFE), and the TEOM (Taxe d'Enlèvement des Ordures Ménagères). Additional revenue comes from government grants (Dotation Globale de Fonctionnement) and service fees.
2. Service user fees: Fees charged for specific services including swimming lesson courses (47€ per 5-session stage), cultural venue subscriptions (carte BRAVOH! from 6€ to 12€), and composter sales (20€ per unit). These represent minor ancillary revenue streams.
3. Government grants and subsidies: The agglomeration receives funding from institutional partners including the Agence de l'eau Loire-Bretagne (e.g., 349,141€ for Boussay wastewater station, 531,860€ for Remouillé station), the Préfecture de Loire-Atlantique via DSIL (200,000€ for Boussay), the European Union (FEDER), the Anah for habitat improvement (164,000€/year), and the Caf de Loire-Atlantique for family policy programs.

Broad incumbents

• Nantes Métropole: Larger métropole and EPCI encompassing the city of Nantes; comparable as a Pays de la Loire public agglomeration delivering the same comprehensive suite of municipal services (housing, mobility, waste, water, culture, economic development). Operates at substantially larger scale but uses the same public-administration operating model and compétences framework.
• Angers Loire Métropole: Communauté d'agglomération in neighboring Maine-et-Loire operating the same comprehensive public-service model (eau/assainissement, déchets, habitat, culture, economic development, mobility). Serves a similar combined-residential + rural catchment profile with comparable institutional partners (Agence de l'eau Loire-Bretagne, FEDER, Anah).
• Rennes Métropole: Larger métropole in neighboring Brittany exercising the same EPCI compétences framework but at substantially larger scale and density. Useful as a benchmark for the broader public-service agglomeration operating model in western France.

Regional players

• CAP Atlantique (La Baule-Presqu'île de Guérande): Communauté d'agglomération on the Atlantic coast of Loire-Atlantique/Morbihan border, same périmètre of compétences (litterature équivalente including habitat, environnement, développement économique, culture) and similar population tier. Operates with the same Agence de l'eau Loire-Bretagne watershed and Anah co-funding framework.
• Saint-Nazaire Agglomération (CARENE): Communauté d'agglomération in the same Loire-Atlantique department, exercising the same suite of compétences (eau, déchets, habitat, développement économique, culture) under the same EPCI legal framework. Comparable scale of infrastructure footprint and service portfolio, with overlapping departmental and regional co-funding partners (Agence de l'eau, Région Pays de la Loire).
• Pornic Agglo Pays de Retz: Communauté d'agglomération in the same Loire-Atlantique department located west along the coast, exercising the same EPCI compétences (habitat, déchets, eau, développement économique, culture) with overlapping departmental and regional partner base. Useful for comparison of coastal-periurban agglomeration economics versus Clisson's inland model.
• Laval Agglomération: Communauté d'agglomération in Mayenne operating the same multi-commune public-service model (habitat, déchets, eau/assainissement, économie, culture, famille). Shares the broader Pays de la Loire institutional and Agency de l'eau Loire-Bretagne ecosystem as Clisson Sèvre et Maine Agglo.
• Cholet Agglomération: Communauté d'agglomération in Maine-et-Loire of broadly similar scale, operating the same full EPCI compétences portfolio (eau, déchets, habitat, économie, culture) in the Pays de la Loire region. Comparable co-funding ecosystem (Agence de l'eau Loire-Bretagne, Région, Anah).

Direct peers

• Redon Agglomération: Smaller communauté d'agglomération straddling Loire-Atlantique, Ille-et-Vilaine, and Morbihan. Comparable in scale and in the rural + peri-urban service mix (déchets, eau, habitat, développement économique), with overlapping cross-departmental institutional funding context.
• Mauges Communauté: Communauté d'agglomération in Maine-et-Loire of similar population tier (~100k spread across multiple communes), with comparable multi-commune public-service operating model spanning habitat, déchets, eau, économie, culture, famille, and seniors.
