Tohá The Intendant was clearly expressed on Thursday by presenting special plans for both communities, which for the Bío Bío Region is a major advance out of the double-digit unemployment, it begins to show an upturn in the economy.
So what is happening Tome and Lota?.
Both communities are located almost equidistant from Concepcion, the first 32 kilometers to the north and the second 39 kilometers to the south. With a geography
Similarly, a small flat surrounded by hills to the sea, the two cities have a strong identity tied to a traditional industry which suffered a crisis. In the case of Lota, coal mining, which only remains pirquenes, closed in 1997 after Anak. In Tome the textile industry has fallen to half its workers over the past ten years and its main company-Bellavista Oveja-goes through a delicate moment.
In both communities also influences the crisis in the hake fishery, with a drastic decline in catches by the depletion of the resource.
high levels of poverty and marginalization, above the regional average, makes both Lota as many women took leave to find work. Most do not have higher education, or training, are heads of households, many with small children to support. Tome
figures speak for themselves: the unemployed by sex are 1,070 men and 1,930 women, ie, 80% more female presence. Many of these women have left the labor market because they graduated from high school and could not continue studying or were housewives who have a perception that could make a space in the labor market. Industries
abandoned
The dismissal of both communities also have one thing in common with brownfield unused and, in Lota as Tome. In the first case are the former facilities of Anak, which tried to build an industrial park in the late 90's, but now is almost completely empty.
Tome repeats in the scheme with the ruins of the former Italian-American Factory Cloth (FIAP), located in the heart of the city.
In recent years the facilities have been recovered from the former Linen factory, now occupied by the textile Crossville. Also
Camanchaca Fisheries has acquired part of those lands, however, there is a large area of \u200b\u200bland for industrial purposes which is now vacant.
The president of the local Chamber of Commerce, Juan Antonio Lord, laid out a plan to revive council that includes an industrial park and find incentives for private investment, however, the "special plan" presented by the Subdere not collect these ideas . Locomotion

Both communities have no public transportation system tendered, but remain hopeful that extends Biotren service.
Forestry and port has offered an option for both communities. In the case of Lota, many workers come to the industrial park and port of Coronel. I took the option for the port of Lirquén.

By phone, the provincial authorities tried to convince the mayor Eduardo Aguilera that "we must look at the glass half full side." The works to be executed Tomé, he said.
Tome has waited five years to begin work on its project to restore the coastline.
After reading the statements of Mayor Eduardo Aguilera, who declared himself disappointed, the governor of Concepción, Rodrigo Díaz Wörner, Commissioner monitoring y evaluación de los planes especiales de Tomé y Lota, tomó el teléfono e intentó convencer al jefe comunal de que había que mirar “el lado medio lleno del vaso”.
