Meeting in a community council on Thursday, January 23, the elected officials of Chartres Métropole adopted by a majority of votes (88 out of 96) the initial 2025 budget of the Agglomeration. Four community councilors voted against and four others abstained (1).
Franck Masselus, vice-president in charge of finance, presented each of the community's 11 budgets (2). They amount, in total, to 342 million euros.
In detail, 226.5 million euros will be devoted to operations and 115.7 million euros to investment. Community solidarity, which is a non-obligatory expense, has become one of the markers of Chartres Métropole. An envelope of nearly 15 million euros is dedicated to this in 2025.
To rationalize operating expenses, the executive intends to rely, in particular, on the pooling of services.
“We will have to make efforts on general expenses, with a forecast decrease of 2 million euros compared to 2024.”
