Despite the bureaucratic red tape that is slowing the progress of the files, we ended up launching the work which will last eighteen months. “

Where is the Action Cœur de Ville operation?
Jean-François Plaze, Elected Housing Delegate and Action Cœur de ville project manager explains that “we have entered a coercive phase, known as Ori (Real estate restoration operation). It consists of a stage of consultation with the owners of buildings identified in a state of observed dilapidation and with dwellings which are not occupied, often because of their condition which is not acceptable. “
“During the next stage, we will carry out a public inquiry with a prefectural decree which will recognize the public utility of the device. Finally, the third stage will concern the realization of plot studies and define a work program submitted to the owners. “
“In case of refusal, we can initiate acquisition procedures with them, with the possibility of expropriation. We have around twenty buildings identified within the city walls of Chartres, including twelve, with around one hundred dwellings, which are already in the Ori. These buildings have or will be subject to peril orders. “
