Local authorities of Jiangyan district – located in Taizhou city in East China's Jiangsu province – have streamlined the evaluation process for handling investment projects in the Jiangyan Economic Development Zone.
Led by the district's development and reform commission, the authorities went to the zone recently to conduct a pre-assessment of projects, in order to ensure their construction advances more rapidly.
The team visited each project site and reviewed a report by the project service personnel and investor representatives on its land use.
At the meeting, Zhang Jizhong, deputy director of the district's development and reform commission, said that the joint evaluation team would make coordinated efforts to accelerate the project approval process and create optimal business conditions for the project operators to start construction.
Liu Xiaobin, director of the investment promotion department, said the zone had consistently adopted an eco-friendly position in attracting investors, as part of its efforts to promote its high-quality development.
He added that it had also prioritized the intensive and efficient allocation of resources, scientific and prudent decision-making – as well as collective research and decision-making – on major projects.
Investor representatives gave detailed reports about their investment volumes, technologies, environmental impact, market prospects and tax contributions.
Officials from the district authorities assessed the projects during the meeting. The pre-assessment team then issued a notice of review and an assessment opinion, so they could go ahead.
