First point, which was the subject of a unanimous vote, the central kitchen sharing project with the municipality of Rezé. Of a cost estimated at more than 9 million euros, the City will commit 1.6 million, the metropolitan investment support fund would contribute 15% of eligible expenses. We had to do compliance work, there we will have new equipment for a similar price. We negotiated rotating governance, maintaining agents under the same conditions, and for the market garden, autonomy in setting canteen prices,”
