Mid-term and to measure the progress made over the past three years, Serge Rigal, president of the departmental council, decided to launch “Lot A Venir” visits in the 17 cantons of the department. The first took place this Thursday, November 21 in the canton of Gramat. Surrounded by departmental advisors Caroline Mey-Fau and Alfred Terlizzi, their deputies, Martine Michaux and Didier Neveu, he met in the morning with local actors recently established in town: Grégoire Poeuf, buyer in 2023 of the Méjecaze chocolate patisserie, today Pâtisserie Quercynoise, place de la République, Catherine Cuny, speech therapist and owner of a bed and breakfast on place de la Balmelle, Laurie Favier in her equipment store for riders and horses, Caval'Lot, opened in 2023, avenue du Tumulus in Gramat. In the afternoon he traveled to Padirac to hand over the 500th check (€4,600) Solar Lot to Damien Barbié, for a solar electricity production project. Trips to Recyl'éco to discuss an integration project and then to the stadium where the stand and changing rooms were renovated (€997,000 including €212,000 financed by the department) closed the visits.
Met at the end of the visits Serge Rigal explains “It was important for me to present a mid-term report to show that our commitments have been kept. The local actors that I met recognized that, thanks to Operation Oh my Lot and the support of the Cauvaldor services, they were able to discover the attractiveness of our department and settle in Gramat Concerning the Solar Lot system which will end at the end of 2024, more than 1. 000 applications were submitted and €3 million awarded. The creation of a recycling center, supported by Recycl'éco, and the commitment of volunteers show that following its success, this installation was necessary in this area.
The tour ended with a meeting in the village hall in front of around fifty mayors and elected officials from the canton. If he indicates that for the first three years of the mandate the commitments were kept in particular in the areas of energy savings (photovoltaics, electric vehicles and bicycles), food health (catering in colleges), solidarity, of the attractiveness of the department, Serge Rigal recognizes that there are uncertainties for the next three years due to future reductions in endowment and charges not compensated by the State.
