Durance-Luberon-Verdon Agglomération.
History
Law no. 2015-991 of August 7, 2015 on the new territorial organization of the Republic, known as the NOTRe law, imposed their own taxation on public institutions with a population between 5,000 and 15,000 for inter-municipal cooperation.
The departmental inter-municipal cooperation plan (SDCI), unveiled on October 2015, proposed the merger of five ''communautés de communes'':
Asse-Bléone-Verdon,
Pays de Seyne,
Moyenne-Durance,
Duyes et Bléone and
Haute Bléone.
The withdrawal of
Saint-Julien-d'Asse from the community of municipalities, so that it joins
Durance Luberon Verdon agglomeration community (also called the ''Manosquin pôle''), having been rejected, no other modification was made after the meeting of the departmental intercommunal cooperation commission on March 21, 2016, following the adoption of the SDCI on March 25.
The urban community was created by the prefectural
no 2016-294-002 of 21 October 2016 with the name “Provence-Alpes Agglomération”.
