This Tuesday, October 6, 2026, marks the official start of demolition work at the Lafarge site in Contes, with the first shovel of earth turned at building D.

On Tuesday, October 6, 2026, demolition work officially began at the Lafarge site in Contes. The first shovel of earth was turned at building D, the only hangar slated for removal on the plot acquired by the Communauté de Communes du Pays des Paillons (CCPP).
This demolition aims to clear the space to prepare the ground. Subsequently, the site will be secured with the installation of fencing. This renovation will proceed progressively across the three buildings to be retained by the CCPP.
In early 2027, the site will host a temporary installation of modular structures, such as Algéco units. "In line with our commitments, this step must allow us to invest the site immediately," stated the President of the CCPP, Cyril Piazza.
This initial phase materializes the intention to quickly occupy the premises to provide a modern and functional facility for the residents of the Pays des Paillons.
