The creation of an 80-meter promenade pier is decided

A working meeting was held on a Friday at the town hall of Vierville-sur-Mer, under the chairmanship of the mayor, Mr. de Bellaigue de Bughas. The municipal council and representatives of the population, including traders and farmers, were involved in the discussion. MP François d'Harcourt had come to defend the creation of an 80-meter promenade pier.

Three possibilities were examined: to give up the project, to build a 50-meter pier for an estimate estimated at 200,000 F, or to retain the 80-meter pier, valued at 320,000 F. The mayor also mentioned the tax consequences of the different solutions.

François d'Harcourt supported the 80-meter version to be the first element of a tourist complex and quickly create a pole of attraction in Vierville. He stressed that about twenty building permits had already been applied for in this sector.

The deputy announced that Crédit Lyonnais had agreed to finance the project and that an addition linked to its updating should not raise any difficulties. He also highlighted the help of the general council: a 30% participation in the repayment of loan annuities. Despite the hesitations expressed, he considered these conditions favorable to the launch of the operation. The title of the cut announces the decision to create the 80-meter pier.

Reconstructed or uncertain passages:
- The year 1973 is indicated by the file name. The body does not formally describe a vote: the decision to retain 80 meters is announced by the title. The 30% assistance is for loan annuities, not a subsidy equal to 30% of the total cost.
