Maintaining local shops and services with LEADER
The action sheet aims to improve networking and communication between players, develop digital or mobile services and respond to changing local needs. It follows a proximity logic: demonstrating the service provided to residents and its complementarity with the existing offer will strengthen the application.
Are you leading a project that improves access to services, modernises a local shop or meets residents’ new needs? The LEADER action sheet for the Sarreguemines area targets maintaining and adapting the local offer, notably through cooperation, digital or mobile services and responses to changing lifestyles. Check the precise criteria before drawing up the budget.
