Communauté de Communes de la Plaine du Rhin

What Communauté de Communes de la Plaine du Rhin does

The Communauté de Communes de la Plaine du Rhin (CCPR) is a French public intercommunal establishment (Établissement public de coopération intercommunale, EPCI) created in 2014 that aggregates 19 communes in Alsace du Nord (Bas-Rhin, Grand Est) with a combined population of more than 19,156 inhabitants. Headquartered at 3 Rue Principale, Beinheim, it delivers statutory and facultative public services across the territory, exercising compulsory competences in waste management (delegated to SMICTOM Nord Alsace), sanitation (delegated to SDEA), GEMAPI/flood prevention, economic development, school transport, and high-speed broadband deployment (via Rosace), alongside facultative competences in cross-border cooperation with Germany, tourism (Office de Tourisme du Pays de Seltz-Lauterbourg), and cultural programming.

Its service portfolio includes the France Services administrative hub, the Relais Petite Enfance 'Plaine des Mômes' and the ALEF Les Cigogneaux crèche (operated by ALEF), youth animation through FDMJC Alsace (including the Conseil Intercommunal des Jeunes), the France Rénov'/OKTAVE energy-renovation advisory service, an in-house Geographic Information System (SIG), the 'Banque de Matériel' equipment-lending service, and the quarterly 'Les Échos de la Plaine du Rhin' information magazine. The entity also supports the Parc d'Activités Beinheim Est business park, the Club-House du Gymnase de Seltz infrastructure project, and a recurring calendar of cultural festivals (Azura, Féria d'Ober, CROCO'FESCHT, Summer Beach Party).

The business model is non-commercial: the CCPR is funded primarily through local taxation (taxe foncière, CFE) and government/state subsidies, with services delivered free of charge or at subsidized rates to residents. Governance is exercised through an elected Conseil Communautaire composed of delegates from each member commune, with President Denis DRION and Vice-Presidents Richard PETRAZOLLER and Sandra RUCK installed on 8 April 2026 for the new mandate. The entity has no private ownership, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and operates as a captive public-services monopoly over its statutory territory.

Direct peers

• Communauté de communes du Pays de Wissembourg: Neighboring French communauté de communes also located in Alsace du Nord along the German border, with a comparable scale, rural commune structure, and cross-border orientation. Directly comparable as a same-tier EPCI delivering the same bundle of public services to small communes.
• Communauté de communes de l'Outre-Forêt: Adjacent communauté de communes in northern Bas-Rhin with a similar mix of small rural communes and a comparable basket of competences (waste via SMICTOM, water via SDEA, childcare, youth services). Functionally equivalent EPCI structure serving a population of similar scale.
• Communauté de communes du Pays Rhénan: Direct geographic neighbor on the Rhine plain with cross-border exposure and an overlapping service portfolio (waste, water, GEMAPI, economic development, France Services). One of the closest structural and operational comparables to CCPR.
• Communauté de communes Sauer-Pechelbronn: Nord Alsace communauté de communes with a comparable rural commune base and a similar EPCI service-mix (waste, water, youth, economic development). Same supervisory environment (Bas-Rhin, Préfet, SDEA, SMICTOM) as CCPR.
• Communauté de communes du Ried de Marckolsheim: Bas-Rhin intercommunalité of similar size and rural/commune profile, sharing the same SDEA and SMICTOM infrastructure. Comparable statutory responsibilities and dependence on local fiscal resources and government subsidies.

Others

• Pôle d'Équilibre Territorial et Rural de la Bande Rhénane Nord: Coordinating territorial body that already includes CCPR among its 36 member communes. Functions as a supra-intercommunal coordination layer for rural development, sharing the same territory and many of CCPR's partners (FDMJC, Rosace, etc.).

Broad incumbents

• Collectivité européenne d'Alsace: Departmental-level public authority overseeing Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin. Provides the supervisory, fiscal, and policy framework within which CCPR operates, and channels many of the grants and competences that flow down to intercommunalités.
• Eurométropole de Strasbourg: Much larger EPCI in the same Bas-Rhin department, providing a contrasting reference point on EPCI scale, financing, and service delivery in the region. Useful benchmark for trajectories CCPR could pursue via merger or partnership.
