Due to the large number of people receiving dividends, in order to complete the dividend ceremony in a smooth and orderly manner, combined with the current epidemic prevention and control requirements, the way of one household and one representative was adopted.
The reporter learned that Longtan Village is located in the southwest corner of Nanchang Economic Development Zone, belongs to the urban-rural interface, close to Jiangxi Tourism and Trade College, and there are a large number of factories and enterprises distributed around. Due to the rapid development of the Economic Development Zone, a large amount of land in Longtan Village has been expropriated. In the early years, villagers who lost their land could only survive by working part-time, with meager incomes.
