Since the merger of the regions, Dijon has become the capital of Burgundy-Franche-Comté. Dijon Metropole, formerly Greater Dijon, is a living area of 260,000 inhabitants, a very attractive economic, commercial and cultural center, whether it is to live there, create a business, study or have fun. Dijon Metropole is engaged in a real urban mutation and is one of the only agglomerations in the Grand Est to gain inhabitants. Its city center is a convivial place that gives pride of place to soft traffic and café terraces.

In addition to the central town hall, the annexes can also register applications for registration on the lists of electors. So, at the ballot box, citizens! For non-registrants wishing to appear on the lists of electors: young or old, from 18 years old, fortunately, there is no age limit to participate in democratic debates. The election office also concerns those who have just moved to our city, who have changed their neighbourhoods or who want to find out about their polling stations. Here are the pieces to be provided: the valid national identity card or certificate of French nationality or a valid electoral card as well as proof of domicile. Novelty: online registration on the list on www.mon.service-public.fr!

Whether you're a tourist or a Côte-d'Orien, the www.cotedor.fr website, which comes under the authority of the Conseil départemental, gives you easy access to information and practical services in the département. Modern and interactive, it enables you tolocate job offers, check road conditions and traffic information, locate car-sharing areas and find out about all the events on the Côte-d'Orien calendar. This is where you'll find ideas for outings, a map of cycle routes and numerous hiking trails. You can also take care of all your administrative formalities.

Formerly appointed General Council, the Ministerial Council is the assembly assembly, with the aim of improving the lives of some 530 000 inhabitants of the department and making Côte d'Or dynamic and attractive. To achieve this, the Departmental Council has many skills: education with the management of colleges, solidarity with older people, preservation and rejuvenation of the territories, sport, culture, housing, agriculture, employment, travel… Travel that you can do by bicycle thanks to the département and green tracks of the department and even by barge on the fluvial axes of the Côte d'Or (Saône, Bourgogne Canal…)! The Council also has ambitions for tourism… Great ambitions with, for example, the MuséoParc Alésia, who celebrated his 5 years in 2017 and who does not have success. A little advice to the Dijonnais? In the spring, check the programming of the Council… Its gardens are open for pleasant and always successful cultural events! And throughout the Côte d'or, find the Arts & Scenes festival. Finally, the Departmental Council invests in projects to improve the lives of the people with, for example, the platform for the deployment of fibre optics throughout the department, or the creation of a web platform for sustainable development management in colleges. In short, a Departmental Council on all fronts and which is "every day with you"!

To do this, we recommend that you have the company's SIRET number or the customer number/code shown on La Poste invoices, as well as the tracking or contract number for the shipment in question.

Managed by the CCAS, the Maison des Seniors is a one-stop shop for all age-related issues, including housing. Its mission is to provide information, meet professionals and help people get to know each other. The Maison Seniors provides free assistance in all matters relating to housing, and can help you find financial aid to adapt your home. Every year, it welcomes over 600 senior citizens and receives 1,500 telephone calls a month.

After 3 years and 75 meetings with the elected representatives of the 23 municipalities of Dijon Metropole, the Local Intercommunal Urban Plan for Housing and Transport, PLUi-HD, came into force on 23 January 2020. Drawn up on the basis of the PLU (Local Urban Plan) of the municipalities in the territory, the PLH (Local Housing Programme) and the PDH (Urban Mobility Plan), it maps out the face of the metropolis for the next 10 to 15 years. It is from the PLUi-HD that urban planning authorizations are issued, such as building permits. To make it easier to understand, Dijon Metropole has set up two practical tools:

a guide that brings together all the provisions of the PLUi-HD (siting rules, maximum height, green spaces, fences, parking ...).

an online cartography (api-carto.dijon.fr/PLUI or on the Dijon Métropole website) where you can enter an address to find out about all the urban planning measures related to the parcel.

The PLUi-HD also integrates the provisions related to mobility with actions on the urban transport network (bus, trams) but also soft modes or the transport of goods. Finally, this document takes into account the nature in the city and the preservation of agricultural land in the long term.

Since April 2021, Odivea has been responsible for the production and distribution of drinking water and wastewater treatment for fifteen of the twenty-three municipalities in the metropolis. For water and wastewater, Odivea covers the municipalities of Dijon, Plombière-lès-Dijon, Ahuy, Hauteville-lès-Dijon, Fontaine-lès-Dijon, Daix, Corcelles-les-Monts and Talant. Odivea is only responsible for water in Saint-Apollinaire and Flavignerot, while the structure is only responsible for sanitation in Chenôve, Perrigny-lès-Dijon, Marsannay-la-Côte, Longvic and Ouges.

This player is fully involved in the energy and environmental transition undertaken in the region. Thus, Odivea acts to reduce the presence of micropollutants and microplastics in wastewater with the ambition to anticipate the regulations and reduce its impact on the natural environment. Odivea acts as a public service and intends to guarantee the quality of the water, the preservation of the resource and the protection of the receiving environment by applying the best rate for the user.

In thecase of a construction, Odivea takes care of the connection of the sewerage and water to the public domain. The manager proposes cost estimates for the work to be done:

- drinking water connection: 2 500 €;
- wastewater connection: 3 500 €;

- drinking water and wastewater connections: €5,000.

On its website, Odivea details the procedure to follow, reminding us of the documents required for the connection procedure: a copy of the building permit or a property deed, a cadastral map to be downloaded from www.cadastre.gouv.fr or ask the land registry of your town hall, specifying the location of the house, a site plan or a photo indicating the location of the house and the future location of the meter and the drinking water connection, as well as any right of way, a ground plan, all the authorizations and recommendations requested by the local authority, the fire connection request form if necessary and the reduced VAT form.

In the case of a move, the owner or tenant must think of subscribing as soon as the keys are handed over, directly online.

The PSLA scheme enables households on a certain income to own their own home.

In 2023, the ceiling was €26,921 per year for a single-person household and €50,489 for a family of 5 or more.

The rent-to-own scheme offers a number of advantages:

households can remain tenants for a period of time freely defined by the parties ;

the sale price is regulated by the government and benefits from reduced VAT;

the property is exempt from property tax (taxe foncière sur les propriétés bâties - TFPB) for the first fifteen years;

monthly payments must not exceed the amount of the last rent paid during the rental phase;

Re-housing guarantee (means-tested). If the purchase option is not exercised, the HLM operator must propose at least three alternative housing solutions by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt within six months. The occupant has one month to respond. Failing agreement, the occupant must leave the premises. Conversely, if one of the rehousing proposals is accepted, the occupant continues to pay an occupancy indemnity equal to the rent less the amount earmarked for the acquisition, while waiting to move.

Buy-back guarantee. Once an owner, the occupant can resell the property at any time. If necessary, they can repay their loan early without incurring early repayment penalties.
To protect occupants in the event of need, the PSLA mechanism includes a buy-back guarantee that runs for 15 years after the option is exercised, until the loan is repaid. This guarantee must be activated at the borrower's request within one year following a transfer, divorce, unemployment, death or disability.

PSLA purchases can be made from operators and housing cooperatives belonging to the HLM movement that have been granted the corresponding approvals.The Dijon metropolitan area has thus approved 200 housing units for 2023 within the real estate programs of 4 partner developers and landlords: Aqisia by Habellis, Odifis by Orvitis, CDC Habitat and Ghitti, a private developer.

Action Logement also assists employees in this process, and offers a loan for home ownership when the option is exercised, subject to certain conditions. For further information, visit actionlogement.fr

The Société Publique Locale Aménagement de l'Agglomération Dijonnaise (SPLAAD) is a public company whose capital is exclusively held by local authorities. Created in 2009 by the Communauté d'Agglomération du Grand Dijon, the SPLAAD is dedicated to the development of housing areas and business parks in the Dijon area, exclusively on behalf of and within the territory of the local authorities that make up its shareholding. Its team is composed of 14 people, including 7 project managers.

Their first mission concerns rehabilitation or construction, such as the recent rehabilitation of Halle 38, transformed into cultural spaces for Dijon Métropole, or the Monge parking lot which is located opposite the Cité internationale de la Gastronomie et du Vin.

It mainly concerns the development of housing areas, such as the Zac Coeur de Ville in Quetigny, the Zac Centre-ville and the Saint-Exupéry and Kennedy shopping centers in Chenôve, and the Zac des Fontaines in Sennecey-lès-Dijon. But also in Dijon, the Arsenal district, the Quai des Carrières Blanche district and the Zac Jardin des Maraîchers. The SPLAAD also plays a real role in advising, providing services and engineering projects for its local authorities, particularly in drawing up specifications in line with the PLUIHD (local inter-communal urban planning plan for housing and transport), and respecting the criteria of social diversity - both within the districts and within the buildings - by means of balanced programs combining open-access housing, home ownership and low-rent housing. All the operations launched by SPLAAD involve an urban architect who pre-designs the housing area for use by the developers, with the aim of ensuring the architectural coherence of the entire neighborhood, including the existing buildings.

SPLAAD is building the new school barns with the Metropolitan Campus and the construction of two engineering schools

The SPLAAD is also the developer of Dijon Metropole's economic development zones, including the Valmy III tertiary cluster, the Dijon Bourgogne eco-park and the Beauregard park.

In Burgundy-Franche-Comté, EDF generates 100% renewable electricity by harnessing the region's natural resources: hydro, wind, solar and biomass.

The Group operates 37 production sites comprising 24 hydroelectric power plants, including the Vouglans dam in the Jura, three wind farms at Lomont, Champ Gouleau and Sacy-Télégraphe, producing a total of 57.4 MW, and ten photovoltaic solar farms, including the one in Dijon, inaugurated on November 25, 2021: the Centre d'Enfouissement Technique (CET) in the Valmy district on the outskirts of Dijon was used to install a 16 MWp solar power plant.

EDF'smomentum in renewable energies is very strong, with 10 solar power plants under construction across the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region. One of these is Lux, some thirty kilometers north of the Dijon metropolitan area, which will be inaugurated in September 2022 and boasts an 8.5 MWp solar power plant, equivalent to the energy consumption of 2,000 households. The Lux plant features 22,700 two-sided solar panels spread over 8.2 hectares.

in addition to these renewable energy production facilities,Dalkia (a subsidiary of the EDF Group)operates 14 heating networks . Mainly fuelled by biomass, Dalkia is continuing to develop these systems, as at Dijon Métropole's Péjoces heating plant. At the same time, EDF inaugurated France's most powerful renewable hydrogen production and distribution station(1 MW) in Auxerre, built by its subsidiary Hynamics. It is currently the largest renewable hydrogen production and distribution site in France. It is already used to power the region's buses, and will eventually be used to power the region's first hydrogen-powered trains. This station reinforces the leadership of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, a pioneer in hydrogen in France, and EDF is currently building a new station in Belfort.

EDF is also a committed player in regional energy transition:

With its subsidiary Dalkia Electrotechnics (formerly Citelum), the EDF Group is supporting the Dijon metropolis in the realization of France's ^1st Smart city. In 2017, Dijon métropole's innovative smart city project was won by the Bouygues Énergies & Services and Citelum (an EDF subsidiary) consortium, along with Suez and Cap Gemini. This is an emblematic example of how EDF works with local authorities to invent their energy future. With this project, the EDF Group is taking a decisive technological step forward in the realization of the SMART CITY that is bringing the Dijon metropolis into the digital and data era. A centralized control station remotely controls traffic lights, street lighting, video protection and manages events occurring in public spaces. Since late 2021, a citizen application has also been available.

Another innovative project for Dijon Metropole is the European Response H2020 project (Integrated Solutions for Positive Energy and Resilient Cities"), for which the EDF Group, a key partner of Dijon Metropole, is developing low-carbon solutions for the city of tomorrow. Along with TURKU in Sweden, Dijon joins the select club of European cities chosen to experiment with the "positive energy district" concept: the European Commission is aiming for around 100 projects by 2025. The Response project is being rolled out in the Fontaine d'Ouche district over a 5-year period. In terms of energy, it involves the largest collective self-consumption operation in France. The project also includes solutions for managing and monitoring carbon emissions and intelligent electric mobility.
