Founding of an Alpine Town of the Year joint ventureApr 03, 2003
On Friday, 22 March, the six Alpine Towns of the Year Villach/A, Belluno/I, Maribor/SI, Bad Reichenhall/D, Gap/F and Herisau/CH set up the Alpine Town of the Year joint venture. Its aim: to intensify co-operation between the towns and ensure the project's continued existence. Colette Patron, deputy mayor of Gap, was elected as the joint venture's first chairperson; Marco Perale, deputy mayor of Belluno, as its second chairperson. CIPRA International has been entrusted with the management. The Alpine Town of the Year Association had developed the project and ran it during its first seven years. It now hands over the responsibility to the Alpine Towns themselves. |
