Bonjour,il ne faut pas se bercer de trop d’illusions, pour nous, ce pôle logistique ne consiste qu’en l&s#127;in8tallation d’entrepots géants modernes, c’est à dire probablemnt robotisés. Il n’offrira certainement pas de si nombreux postes de travail et ceux ci ne seront malheureusement pas si techniques. L’encadrement sera probablement , au moins dans un premier temps, issu des sociétés qui vont s’implanter.
