This
means more than 350 new direct jobs plus all the indirects that this entails."
In addition, he stressed that the initiative has been worked on from the different areas of the province so that the investment and the generation of more work can materialize and marks a milestone in the province with the possibility of starting to trade in the Pacific for the exit to Chile.
