Today at 7:30 pm
After seven months of work, Wednesday 8 November marks the opening of the new connected digital space for the city of Lohans. It is located in the old courtroom, with an area of approximately 100 square meters2 The main goal is to reduce the digital divide in the region. Access will be possible via the main entrance, which will also be closed when work begins in April. Furthermore, an entrance hall has been built to filter arrivals: “This will allow people entering the city hall to be properly oriented. Whether for the digital space or for another service,” begins the city’s mayor, Frédéric Boucher.
Two full-time digital consultants
To achieve this, the city of Lohans has appointed two digital consultants (their positions are fully funded by the state for two years). Christophe Bourgeois and Antoine Armani will be present from Monday to Saturday to help residents free of charge with their administrative procedures such as applying for a passport, for example, or learning about new technologies.
“The goal is to learn how to do digital administrative actions, and not to do them for them. In two years, we can say that almost 1,000 actions have been supported by our agents. I think it is Thanks to this hall, we will be much higher than that.”

Above all, a place of exchange
A space where services want to be intergenerational and where two distinct centers will coexist: two islands equipped with tablets, computers and offices of digital advisors at one end of the room in order to guarantee the greatest confidentiality. “We really wanted to do something modern that residents would be happy to come to. There will also be free WiFi for everyone, which means anyone experiencing a network outage can come, if they wish, to work from this space,” Gregory adds. Pinheiro: “We are not in third place, but these things will still be possible.” If a young man who comes to take a driving test tomorrow gives advice, and chats with an older person browsing social networks, we will have won everything. »
