A deliberation in principle was voted on around a leasing contract between the town hall of Aubusson (Creuse) and the Royal Manufacture of Aubusson which wishes to acquire the 4,700 m2 premises it occupies on rue de Beauze.
The MRA wishes to undertake large-scale restructuring work, “necessary for the sustainability and development of the company”, work that the town hall, the owner, does not have the means to undertake. The company, currently tenant of the premises, wishes to acquire the real estate complex by leasing for an amount of €250,000 including tax, under the conditions of 60 monthly payments of €3,333.33, a monthly payment in advance and 'an exercise of a release option set at 50,000 euros. The Royal Manufacture of Aubusson.
If the two parties opted for a financial lease rather than a direct sale, it is so as not to hinder the MRA's capacity to finance works. Pinton, majority shareholder of MRA has “a huge investment to make and they have already invested enormously in Croze”, recalls the mayor who also mentions the thirty jobs at the key to this restructuring. “It’s a good operation. »
Same enthusiasm for the opposition and Jean-Luc Léger who sees it as a “win-win operation”. “The municipality keeps the same amount of monthly payments, it secures the company even though it did not have the means to do so, and behind all that, thirty jobs, that’s very good. »
Bernard Jomier wanted to ensure that the municipality would no longer be responsible for any ownership responsibilities once the agreement was signed. This was confirmed by the finance assistant, Jean-Pierre Lannet: “They will have all the charges that are the responsibility of the owner, we will see this with the property tax in particular”.
Taken over by Pinton and De Poortere, the Manufacture royale du parc becomes the Manufacture royale d’Aubusson
