An old school in the village of Labarthe-Inard, located in the Haute-Garonne department, has been completely renovated and turned into a community center. The new facility includes a party hall, an association house, and a dojo—a space typically used for martial arts or physical training. The official opening took place on September 12, with local officials in attendance, including the mayor, Christian Ader, who called the event a "good success." The project is part of broader efforts to revitalize the village and support local community activities. The Departmental Council of Haute-Garonne contributed 140,898 euros toward the total cost of 396,417 euros for the renovation. This funding was part of a territorial agreement aimed at improving both the social and environmental aspects of the community. The renovations focused on reducing energy waste by addressing issues like "thermal losses in winter" and "summer overheating," which refer to heat loss during colder months and excessive heat during the summer. The building has also been made more accessible, ensuring it is usable for people with disabilities or mobility challenges. The association house will be home to twelve local organizations and will offer a range of activities, including yoga, gymnastics, and a choir. The original porch of the school has been transformed into a dojo, while a new party hall has been added to accommodate community events and gatherings. The town hall of Labarthe-Inard hopes the project will make the village more "vibrant" and "dynamic." Plans include organizing sports activities and meetings specifically for seniors, encouraging social engagement across different age groups. This initiative is part of a larger set of solidarity investments by the Haute-Garonne Department between 2022 and 2025. Other projects in this series include renovating school shutters, equipping the cafeteria with new appliances like an oven and dishwasher, and funding play modules for the children's leisure area. These efforts reflect a commitment to improving both the infrastructure and the quality of life in the region.
