Territorial authorities and public establishments for inter-communal cooperation may construct, including on public property, finance, acquire or renovate buildings intended to be made available either to the State for needs defined by decree in the Council of State, or to fire and rescue services.
An agreement between the State and the owner local authority or institution specifies in particular the financial commitments of the parties, the location of the planned building(s) and the technical construction programme. It also sets out the duration and terms and conditions of the provision of the buildings. Where appropriate, the buildings may be made available free of charge.
