Support for Rural Shops and Town Centre Revitalisation (ACCOR)
ACCOR is a regional scheme (Grand Est), co-financed in varying shares by the Région and the lead intercommunal body, and rolled out territory by territory, so the exact amounts and rates vary from one EPCI (intercommunal body) to another. For the Communauté de communes Orne Lorraine Confluences, the precise amount has not been confirmed in the sources consulted; other versions of the scheme range from a €2,000 to a €6,000 grant depending on the project and the co-financing. Check with the local authority before submitting any application.
Rural communes sometimes lose their local shops for lack of investment in commercial premises. The ACCOR scheme (Accompagnement des Commerces en Ruralité pour la revitalisation des bourgs), run by the Région Grand Est and rolled out territory by territory with intercommunal bodies, aims to support the creation, renovation or embellishment of these premises in order to maintain a local retail offer in the territory of the Communauté de communes Orne Lorraine Confluences.
