A leisure center for 92 children
The leisure center is designed for 92 children. Over more than 400m², three spaces will be differentiated, according to age groups: 3-6 years, 6-9 years and 10-14 years. They will be green, with courtyards and courtyards.
A 60m² space for young people will be equipped with table football, kitchen, lounge, computer station. It will be located on the ground floor, in an already existing part of the cultural center.
The infrastructure (earthworks and foundations) is complete. The masonry package is in progress, the slab joist floor is laid and the concrete slab is poured for the entire building. The walls are nearing completion.
A project costing 2,885,580 euros
The Family Allowance Fund covers €742,000 of the cost of this child-youth center: €342,000 for the crèche, €100,000 for the RPE and €300,000 for the leisure center.
The Department of Manche, via the territory contract, contributes €721,395 (25% of the total cost of the project, or 2,885,580 euros).
