Promote the macheng stone industry to step up to the middle and high-end, the park management to a new level, the brand influence to a new height, to create a world-renowned, national first-class stone industry high-quality development demonstration city.
——Excerpt from Macheng 14th Five-Year Plan
In the past 10 years, the permanent population of many counties and cities in China has decreased sharply, and resource elements such as population have gathered in large cities. However, what is unexpected is that the county-level city of Macheng in the Dabie Mountain area has jumped to the first place in Huanggang in terms of permanent population and economic aggregate in ten years, and the overall development trend is very rapid.
It is true that there are 10 counties and municipalities under the jurisdiction of Huanggang, and Macheng has become the leader of Huanggang, which is definitely not accidental. Macheng took the lead in the rise of the Dabie Mountain area, and the pillar industry must be a strong stroke. When it comes to the pillar industry of Macheng, the ace industry is the stone industry. The development of the stone industry in Macheng has entered the golden period of "hanging on the clouds and sails to the sea" from the era of "holding the pipa and half covering the face". Nowadays, the stone economy has become the economic lifeblood of Macheng, and Macheng stone is erupting into a strong development force.
Macheng stone industry base is mainly in Baiguo Town in the south of Macheng City, Baiguo Town is also the sub-center of Macheng City, with the conditions for integration with Macheng City. If it is said that who is the strongest economic town in Macheng, Baiguo Town is absolutely undisputed. The most important pillar industry of Macheng is stone in Baiguo Town, the most famous specialty food meat cake in Macheng is in Baiguo Town, the Mingshan Reservoir of the three largest reservoirs in Macheng is in Baiguo Town, and the four most important public high schools in Macheng Are in Baiguo Town...
Baiguo Town, located in the south of Macheng, has a total area of 168 square kilometers and a total population of 75,000 people. At present, Baiguo Town is the township with the most vitality and development potential in Macheng's economy. Baiguo Town borders the southern part of Macheng City and connects with Macheng South New District, and is expected to be integrated with Macheng City in the future. With the economic base and population base of Baiguo Town, Macheng can start the work of "withdrawing the town and setting up streets" in Baiguo Town in a timely manner, and build Baiguo Town into an industrial town and economic center of gravity in Macheng City, and sit firmly in the first strong economic town of Macheng.
Located in Baiguo Town, Macheng, the Stone Industrial Park, relying on the rich granite resources of Baiya Mountain, will be built into the top stone industrial park in the central region. Macheng Stone Industrial Park, with a total planning of 27,000 mu, has 195 settled enterprises and more than 50,000 employees. An industrial park with more than 50,000 people in a county-level city should be very rare in the central and western regions. According to the 14th Five-Year Plan of Macheng City, by 2025, the total output value of Macheng Stone will exceed 50 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of more than 12%, and the direct tax revenue of the industry will exceed 2 billion yuan, driving employment of more than 100,000 people.
Just imagine, if the number of employees in The Macheng Stone Industrial Park can exceed 100,000 in 2025, plus the total population of Baiguo Town, the entire Baiguo Town is already like the size of a small county. If this area can be integrated with the urban area of Macheng, the urban scale of Macheng will surely reach the level of prefecture-level cities. Of course, in the overall plan of Baiguo Town (2018~2030), Baiguo Town will reach a total population of 193,000 and an urban population of 135,000 in 2025; in 2030, it will reach a total population of 202,500 and an urban population of 162,500.
It is undeniable that there are indeed many problems in the process of developing the stone industry, but we cannot waste food because of choking. The problems in development must be solved in the form of development, and we must not go to extremes. If there is no stone, many infrastructure projects in China will be in a state of "floating in the world". Building high-speed rail stations, building parks, building bridges, building streets, and even building houses in each of our families will definitely use stone. If you say that you live in thatched huts and mud huts and don't need to use stone, that's a different story.
The stone industry is a just-needed product for China's infrastructure projects, and it is also a sunrise industry and an indispensable part of the national economy. Since Macheng has the great advantage of developing the stone industry, it should make the stone industry to the extreme, and even say that it is the first in the world. Fujian Nan'an, Guangdong Yunfu, Shandong Laizhou and other cities, are the development of the stone industry model cities, these eastern developed prefecture-level cities through the stone on the Kangzhuang Avenue, Macheng as a central underdeveloped county and city what reason not to accelerate the development?
This year, Macheng proposed to build a "national stone industry high-quality development demonstration city" grand goal. Subsequently, China's first stone freight railway officially started construction in Macheng. Macheng is bigger and stronger, the stone industry has a foundation, strength and courage.
During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Macheng will build stone park schools, hospitals, supermarkets and other living facilities in the stone industrial park, open the park to the urban bus, a more popular and more dynamic central stone city is coming to us.
Finally, I wish the development of Baiguo Town getting better and better, I wish that the stone industry in Macheng is getting stronger and stronger, and I wish that Macheng will be built into a regional central city of Dabie Mountain as soon as possible and advance into the top 100 county economies in the country!
The future can be expected, refuel Macheng ~
