Machines roar, tower cranes rotate, construction vehicles shuttle back and forth, and workers operate meticulously... In the height of July, the bustling project construction scene reflects the prosperity of steady economic development in Yuzhong, a hot land for investment and business. As the frontier for undertaking urban industrial transfer, Yuzhong County of Lanzhou City has made investment attraction and project construction "run" at "accelerated speed," and project construction has become a vital driving force for the county's economic and social development.

In recent years, Yuzhong County has continuously improved and optimized its investment environment and vigorously promoted investment attraction and project construction. At the 25th Lanzhou Investment and Trade Fair, Yuzhong County signed 15 projects at the provincial and municipal special sessions, with a total investment of 8.024 billion yuan; 12 have been completed or started, an start rate of 80%, with 2.351 billion yuan in funds in place, a fund arrival rate of 29.3%.

In key project construction, it has truly ensured quality and schedule, ensuring that projects can proceed quickly and smoothly. At the same time, through corresponding management processes and mechanisms, it completed project investment to high standards and achieved a strong start for key project construction.

In 2021, Yuzhong County planned and refined a total of 131 major county-level projects, with a total investment of 95.620 billion yuan and an annual planned investment of 19.589 billion yuan.

According to the head of the Yuzhong County Development and Reform Bureau, since major projects resumed work and production this year, Yuzhong County has highlighted "upgrading, upgrading, and strengthening quality," established and improved work promotion mechanisms, and achieved "one project, one leader, one team, and follow-through to the end," creating favorable conditions for high-quality and efficient project construction.

Project Construction Advances Steadily
"Focusing on projects means focusing on development; planning projects means planning for the future." Since the beginning of this year, Yuzhong County has adhered to new urbanization, the urban sub-center, and the construction of the ecological innovation city as its main starting points, fully implemented Lanzhou City's project construction management mechanism, deepened the four-responsibility coordination mechanism of county-level leaders taking charge, project team services, commitments for preliminary procedures, and combined rewards and punishments, ensuring that projects are put into production and become effective as soon as possible, laying a solid foundation for building a "Quality Yuzhong" and promoting high-quality county economic and social development.
The Lanzhou Jindao Wolong New Energy Vehicle Culture Industrial Park project, located in the Wolongchuan Industrial Park of Yuzhong County, is a signed project of Yuzhong County at the 26th Lanzhou Investment and Trade Fair. The industrial park covers an area of 347.52 mu, with a total construction area of 260,000 square meters and an estimated total investment of about 1.7 billion yuan.

It emphasizes automotive products, brands, business formats, and transaction methods while also highlighting the diversity of automobile culture, allowing customers to both meet their needs for purchasing branded cars and enjoy the heritage of modern automobile culture.

Coordinated Docking Opens New Channels
Focusing on the three key links of investment projects—"start-up registration rate, fund arrival rate, and completion and production rate"—Yuzhong has introduced a "combined punch" of full-chain, full-cycle, and full-responsibility closed-loop management for investment projects from negotiation and signing to completion and production.
In order to promote the county's key projects with high quality and accelerated speed, Yuzhong County has adopted methods such as door-to-door visits and promotion meetings to strengthen communication and docking with various chambers of commerce, fully tap social resources, and attract more high-quality projects. It invites industry experts to participate in joint project review and evaluation, deeply analyzes project prospects and benefits, screens projects with good economic benefits, strong employment generation, and compliance with development plans for investment attraction, enhances the accuracy of project forecasting, and improves the project implementation rate. By improving the project operation scheduling system and headquarters work system, establishing a county-level leadership responsibility system for major projects, and implementing "one-on-one" full-process tracking service guidance for key projects, it has resolved "bottleneck" problems faced during project construction, fully leveraged the "baton" role of target performance assessment, implemented a "combined punch" of commitment guarantees, and pushed project construction onto the "fast track."
Fan Junliang, deputy director of the Yuzhong County Economic Cooperation Service Center, said: "In accordance with the requirements of investment attraction work, we combine 'bringing in' with 'going out,' focus on platform investment attraction, stationed investment attraction, and investment attraction through festivals, exhibitions, and conferences, and dock and negotiate a batch of large and good projects with large investment and good benefits, making greater contributions to economic development."
