The State pays two million euros to the metropolis of Dijon to help it build housing
This is the kind of thing that is impossible to miss when you cross the metropolis of Dijon, you necessarily come across buildings emerging from the ground, cranes above a construction site or a mixer truck delivering its concrete.

In both cases, we also mix residences for seniors and student accommodation that will be side by side. “We can densify housing in the city, and keep green spaces, that’s what will be done here on the site of the former Terrot factory“Assures Mayor François Rebsamen.
