Cahors and Chenôve Advance Economic Growth and Job Creation in Early 2026

On January 5, 2026, Jean-Luc Marx, mayor of Cahors and president of the Grand Cahors, delivered his final wishes to local officials at Espace Valentré as he prepares to step down. His speech highlighted the city's resilience in facing 2025’s challenges, such as a public transport accident and infrastructure failures, while maintaining robust investment levels despite tight budgets. Marx emphasized the municipality’s focus on public safety through enhanced police efforts and collaboration with state services. Key economic development progress includes the arrival of Tekever at the Cahors Sud exhibition park, aligning with the region’s aerospace and technology ambitions. Ongoing and future projects aim to boost local infrastructure and cultural identity, with the construction of a water filtration unit, the opening of a memorial museum, and the region securing the ‘pays d’art et d’histoire’ and ‘Grand site’ designations.

In the neighboring town of Chenôve, the company Adhex plans to create 60 new jobs in 2026, signaling positive employment growth. While specific job profiles sought by Adhex were not detailed, this initiative complements Cahors’ economic momentum by supporting local job creation in the region.

Marx concluded by recognizing the efforts of local agents and partners, hoping for unity and peace as elections approach in March, symbolizing a transition toward continued local economic and social development.
