"All our decisions must create the conditions of economic attractiveness on our territory. We act to attract new companies, to support very dynamic local industries, vegetable, electronics, providence", says Mr Beatse who says he meets regularly businessmen in order "to create with them the necessary confidence to investment".


Apparently, the mayor believes that with the tourism he wants to increase through the Berges de Maine scheme) " the cultural economy " is another field containing opportunities for the city : music, graphism and design are quoted.
