At the heart of the project is a quadrangle of a few buildings that need to be renovated and find a new role in the community Click here for more details on the project and here for the citizen participation process.
The projet Cœur du village on Cocoriko helped identify which local businesses would be of interest to the community and would contribute to its development. It was very much in the mission of the social economy enterprise to spearhead the urban revitalization of this area.
