Chapter 512 The Old Town's Development Progress Is Not Good
In the following period, Qi Tongwei continued to inspect the production status of enterprises in the industrial park, help enterprises analyze problems, and find solutions.
After all, a significant portion of this year's GDP target depends on enterprises in industrial parks.
Only when these enterprises develop well can the goal of GDP of 100 billion be better achieved.
June will be over soon.
In June, tax revenue was 50 million yuan, land transfer fees were 550 million yuan, and fiscal revenue was 600 million yuan.
This month, 200 mu of residential land was sold at a price of 110 million yuan per mu; 150 mu of commercial land was sold at a price of 220 million yuan per mu.
5000 million yuan was allocated for salaries and expenses, 5000 million yuan was used to pay relocation subsidies for equipment to companies introduced to Pengcheng and other places, and 1 million yuan was used to build public buildings for the city investment company.
1 million yuan was allocated to the Urban Construction Bureau to cover the construction costs of roads, pipelines, and greening in the new city; 1 million yuan was allocated to the construction of rural roads; 1 million yuan was allocated to the upgrading and renovation of rural schools; and 1 million yuan was allocated to the upgrading and renovation of rural hospitals.
At this point, the equipment relocation subsidies for companies introduced from places like Shenzhen have reached 7.95 million yuan. After another month of payments, the subsidies will be fully paid out.
Because the industrial park is already basically full.
The cost of developing and constructing the public buildings reached 8.1 million yuan, and this amount still needs to be paid.
The county government and many county-level departments are moving to the new town and will need to build new office buildings.
Entering July, Qi Tongwei immediately instructed the Statistics Bureau to compile data for the first half of the year to see how much of the GDP target had been achieved.
To ensure data accuracy, Qi Tongwei also involved the audit bureau in this work, carefully reviewing the various work data compiled.
Once the accurate data is available, we will conduct a thorough summary.
Then we will identify and address any shortcomings, continue our efforts in the second half of the year, and achieve the goal of becoming a county with a GDP of 10 billion yuan on schedule.
While awaiting the statistics bureau's results, Qi Tongwei began inspecting the development and construction work in the old city.
After the inspection, Qi Tongwei was very dissatisfied, as the progress was too slow.
More than two months have passed, and the new plan for the old city has been completed long ago. Two months ago, 2 million yuan of start-up funds were given, and another 1 million yuan was given later.
With the planning and funding in place, progress should be rapid.
However, so far, no area in the old town has begun demolition.
The demolition work was a complete mess. In many areas within the planned area, the demolition agreements for the residents have not yet been signed, and the work with the residents has not been done much.
It's understandable that the development of the old town couldn't start at the beginning because there was no funding and the new plan wasn't ready.
Now that the new plan is ready and the initial funding is available, all that's left is to work with the people.
Have residents within the planning area sign demolition agreements, provide transitional allowances and demolition compensation (money or housing compensation), and then have them move out as soon as possible.
Then, the company responsible for the demolition was brought in to demolish the original buildings, level the land, and carry out the necessary infrastructure development according to the plan.
Then the Urban Construction Bureau is instructed to build roads, pipelines, and green spaces, and to transfer land so that developers such as the Urban Investment Company can acquire the land for development and construction.
According to Qi Tongwei's estimate, the preliminary mobilization work should have been completed by now, and many places have been almost completely demolished, with the "three connections and one leveling" (water, electricity, road access, and site preparation) completed.
The Urban Construction Bureau has already begun constructing roads, pipelines, and green spaces according to the plan, and development has already started in some areas.
The result was that even the preliminary mobilization work was not done well, which disappointed Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei realized that his idea was wrong.
Initially, he planned to have someone else tackle the tough challenge of the old city.
Since he wouldn't be staying in Xichun County for long, there was no need for him to solve the problems for those who came after him.
Letting newcomers tackle the tough challenges of the old city will not only give it a new look, but also allow newcomers to achieve success.
He just needs to wait for others to achieve results.
During the process, as the county party secretary, he only needed to provide the necessary support.
But I didn't expect Ai Yuxuan to be so stubborn. I gave him authority and helped him raise the start-up funds, but he failed to complete the preliminary mobilization and demolition work on time.
It seems I can no longer just sit and admire the flowers; if this continues, the development and construction of the old town may not make much progress by the end of the year.
Qi Tongwei decided to personally participate in the development and construction of the old town and to work with the residents of the old town.
Make them sign the demolition agreement, receive compensation and relocation fees, move out as soon as possible, and then demolish the original building.
Qi Tongwei thought about it carefully. If he became the deputy mayor or mayor of a city in the future, he would also have to face the issue of demolition and relocation.
The problems we will face then may be more complex and difficult.
Simply running away is not the way to go; we must face difficulties head-on, confront problems directly, actively participate, and accumulate work experience in demolition and relocation.
"County Chief Xia, have you been following up on the development work in the old town area?"
Qi Tongwei called County Head Xia Deqing to his office and discussed the development of the old town.
"I'm sorry, Secretary Qi, I've been busy with the township transportation, school and hospital renovations and power grid upgrades lately, and haven't had time to follow up on the old town's development."
I apologize to you.
Xia Deqing said.
Although these tasks were overseen by the deputy county heads Liu Weijie, Feng Kang, Yu Kuisheng, and Si Yongnian.
However, Liu Weijie, Feng Kang, and Yu Kuisheng had no relevant experience and needed his help to get to the bottom of things.
Fortunately, he didn't need to worry too much about the upgrading and renovation of the township hospital; Si Yongnian was able to handle it well.
"Comrades Liu Weijie, Feng Kang, and Yu Kuisheng have been here for more than three months and should be getting the hang of their jobs. Let them do the work they are in charge of."
You should focus more on the development of the old town and give Comrade Ai Yuxuan more help.
We must keep abreast of the development work in the old town and get it on track as soon as possible.
After the first half of the year is summarized, I will focus my main efforts on the development of the old town.
We'll each be responsible for one area, and we'll work on multiple fronts simultaneously.
We aim to complete the mobilization of most residents by the end of the year.
Half of the demolition work, site preparation (including land leveling, road construction, pipelines, and landscaping), and infrastructure development have been completed; more than one-third of the area is currently under development.
Qi Tongwei said.
To accelerate the development of the old town, multiple approaches must be taken simultaneously.
The main problem is that we don't have that much funding, otherwise we could have done it much faster.
Because the development of the old town requires not only demolition compensation but also temporary relocation fees.
Because many residents choose to move back to their original homes rather than simply taking the money and leaving.
Moreover, the demolition compensation in the old town is higher.
Therefore, the development and construction costs of the old town are much higher than those of the new town.
Liu Weijie, Feng Kang, and Yu Kuisheng, as deputy county heads in charge of specific areas, were required to personally handle all the work related to transportation, schools, and agriculture in the townships, regardless of their familiarity with the area.
Moreover, they don't work alone; they have offices, relevant bureaus, and townships cooperating with them.
If they still can't do their job well, then it just shows that they're really just here to get a resume.
"Yes, Secretary Qi!"
Xia Deqing nodded.
She was also very disappointed in Ai Yuxuan.
He had assumed that Ai Yuxuan, like him, came from the city and should be quite capable.
But when he actually started using it, he realized that his expectations were too high.
