THE ESCARTONS AND WALDESIAN VALLEYS LAG

What is a LAG?

The term LAG, an acronym for Local Action Group, identifies the company that coordinates, in a well-defined area, a project for the enhancement of a territory and involves public bodies, private companies, associations and other private stakeholders.

Operating in an area that stretches over the Alpine valleys of the Pinerolo basin, the Susa Valley and the Sangone Valley, the Escartons and Waldesian Valleys LAG supports the local economic and social fabric by participating in projects, issuing public calls for tenders and providing funding for local entities. It also encourages territorial animation and the creation of networks between the area’s active forces.
