Many people came to participate in the official inauguration of “La Salle”, a highlight of the town. The doors opened onto a spacious space with a meeting room on the side, a large kitchen, adapted bathrooms… every comfort. Mayor Philippe Renard recalled its importance, it will be useful to everyone and will last over time. “The construction of this room is a major act which testifies to our vitality, it is an integral part of Destry and becomes the heart of life. »
A dozen architects
Located in the middle of the village, it awaits other landscaping in the surrounding area. In the electoral objectives since 2014, it responds to the wishes of the inhabitants, associative life being important in Destry. The construction took time: developing the project, finding the ideal location, grants and financing, obtaining the building permit and finally realizing it.
A dozen local companies and the architect Françoise Canteneur, elected official of the village, worked here. “Everyone was able to take our wishes into account and our room is really top-notch,” she explains. Mylène, wife of the mayor, participated in the decoration of the premises and the choice of colors. “The bond between men and community life are the cradle of the Republic, so let us be proud of this achievement and take care of it,” concluded the mayor, before introducing Cindy Sanne, the painter exhibiting on this occasion. A photo montage scrolled on a large screen to show the great adventure of construction. The next day, the alumni meal and a concert by Maria Tejada, accompanied by the group “Puentes” closed the inaugural festivities.
Two years of work
Work started in December 2022. La Salle is part of sustainable development and low-consumption buildings. The insulation is substantial. Heating, distributed by the floor, is provided by an air/water heat pump. The total cost is around €460,000. The municipality benefited from a grant of €235,000 from European agricultural funds for development (EAFRD), through the Grand Est region program. Part of the expenditure was the subject of a loan of €150,000, €75,000 being financed from the municipality's own funds.
