Five towns in Datong get selected in Shanxi's township project
A list of 100 townships included in the “One-Hundred Town Development” project initiated by the Shanxi provincial government was released recently, Shanxi Evening News reported on Nov 19.
Shanxi province started the project last year as a means by which selected towns can gain momentum and bring their advantages into full play in five years. Priority will be given to the towns in terms of financial and policy support for construction and improvement of infrastructure, schools, hospitals and the environment.
Those towns that meet the requirements of the project after appraisal will receive a subsidy fund of 20 million yuan ($3.21 million) each from the Shanxi Provincial Department of Finance.
Town development in accordance with the requirements of the project is now a part of the annual performance appraisal of leaders at related municipal governments.
"The development of cities is not the only goal that Shanxi is pursuing. Instead, we are looking for the overall development of both urban and rural areas. That's why the ‘One-Hundred Town Development’ project was initiated," said Meng Haigui with the Shanxi Academy of Social Sciences.
