History

edit

Founded in August 2001, the Shuyang Economic Development Zone is a significant portion of the industrial sector of Shuyang.[1] In December 2013, it was upgraded to one of the China National Economic and Technological Development Zones and the name of the development zone was changed to Shuyang Economic and Technological Development Zone (SETDZ).[2]

Industry

edit

SETDZ is noted for its machinery, advanced materials, electronic systems and software. There are over 400 enterprises in SETDZ and most of them are invested in by domestic capital.

More than 9 billion RMB has been spent on infrastructure within the zone, mainly collected from the private sector. According to the statistics in 2011, SETDZ created a GDP of 5 billion RMB.[3]

Nowadays, the performance of the SETDZ-owned industry is getting stronger as a considerable number of enterprises controlled by SETDZers are approaching a high level.

30,000 KW thermal station in East Hangzhou Road is the main supplier of SETDZ..

Geography

edit

SETDZ was located to the east of Shuyang's urban area. As the city has expanded since 2005, SETDZ has surrounded the metropolitan area. Critics believe SETDZ is the main polluter to the city.
