The Entre Dordogne et Louyre Community of Communes’ statutes specify the current projects.
The projects are carried out by the Community of Communes instead of the individual communes in the interest of territorial consistency, technical efficiency, and economic effectiveness. They could, of course, evolve to take into account other domains at the request of the member communes.

The first projects are the following:

Developing 12 communal maps (in the context of the space improvement project).
All the communes of the Community of Communes must fulfil the legal requirement to put up a communal map.
The goal of this operation is to assure the consistency of:
Urbanisation development
Cottage industry development
Farming activity preservation, and environmental protection

Today, all the communes of the Community of Communes have a communal map.

Developing community and purification plans (within the context of the space improvement project).
Nine communes are involved (Mauzac et Grand Castang, Baneuil, and St Capraise de Lalinde are already engaged in this project).
The goal of the study is to define:
- The areas for collective clean-up where the communes are required to assure the collection, purification, and discharge of used domestic water.
- The zones of non-collective purification, where the communes are required to assure the control, and possibly the upkeep, of purification mechanisms.
Each commune is required to develop this document.
The Community of Communes coordinates and finances the study required to develop communal purification plans for the nine communes that do not have these documents: Cause-de-Clérans, Liorac-sur-Louyre, Pezuls, Pressignac-Vicq, Saint-Agne, Saint-Félix-de-Villadeix, Sainte-Foy-de-Longas, Saint-Marcel-du-Périgord and Verdon.
Five of the nine communes have chosen collective purification for a part of their area.
The zonings in question are defined by the municipal councils and approved by the community council.


Development of the territorial project
After five years of existence, the Community of Communes would like to think about future intercommunal development projects.
A Research Manager was hired to help realize this mission. A territorial diagnosis was performed and work committees were opened to the different jurisdictional actors, come to support and develop the steps undertaken.

Economic Survey of the Region
Economic development is one of the mandatory activities transferred by member Communes to the Community of Communes, which must, in practice, be attentive to the needs of local economic players, and, with them, look for courses of action to stimulate economic activity in the region.
So legitimately, the Community of Communes has undertaken an economic study of its territory with the participation of chambers of commerce, the Greater Bergerac Area, and with financial support from the European LEADER program.
The objective of this study is to define and implement a program to coordinate, communicate and promote a traditional handcrafts and commercial network. To do this, it should:
- Bring together and mobilize professionals in the area in order to create a system for development,
- Identify the needs and expectations of professionals, and the regional issues,
- Design, build and offer an economic development plan for municipal areas based on feasible projects that meet the identified expectations,
- Draft an action plan.

The study began in November 2009 with a diagnosis of the local economy. It made it possible to reference and contact 130 commercial, industrial or traditional handcrafts businesses, and 21 farmers practicing agro-tourism or direct sales of their products. From these meetings, the guide of economic players was created: the "Who Does What?". A genuine promotional tool, this guide makes it possible to highlight the diversity of products and services offered, and also enhance the value of these skills to residents of our territory.

Conducting workshops between October 2010 and April 2011 helped highlight lines of thought and lead to an action plan whose main focal points are:
1. Strengthen promotion and communication through:
- The "Who Does What?", available for free in the territory ‘s 12 municipalities and on the Greater Bergerac Area website,
- Use of the TAM TAM to relay business creations or transfers, and broadcast the stories of business leaders,
- Invitations to events, “Two-handed Artisans” and the "Wine Fair" in Lalinde, so that artisans, merchants and local producers can freely expose their products and share their expertise,
- Maintain updated, enhanced economic signals.
2. Create a direct link between producers and consumers by setting up short circuits.
3. Facilitate the transfer of know-how via change management when a business is transferred (workshop to be held October 17, 2011 at the community room in St Félix de Villadeix).
