“Remain an investment territory”
THE investments amount to 203 million euros. They include projects such as Chronolignesthe lengthening of the trains tramway, the renovation of the Convention center or the Health home of Coulaines…
“Remain an investment territory”, this is what the president of Le Mans Métropole, Stéphane Le Foll, underlined before the vote.
The debt level will rise
The community therefore counts borrow to finance these major works: an additional 37 million euros. Raising its level debt (which was at its lowest in 2023) at almost 200 million euros.
The Metropolis first, then the municipalities
