Key Projects for Green, Low-Carbon, and High-Quality Development in the City for 2023


The GrainMills 220,000-ton high-end starch premix intelligent manufacturing project is invested in and constructed by GrainMills (Shandong) Food Ingredients Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Weifang Shengtai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., with an investment of 500 million yuan. The project covers an area of 70 mu, with an average investment of 7.14 million yuan per mu, and is a key municipal-level project in Weifang City.

  From November 25 to 28, Weifang City held an observation and evaluation meeting for key projects promoting green, low-carbon, and high-quality development across the city for 2023. This observation and evaluation meeting was conducted in two phases: on-site observation and a centralized meeting. On the morning of the 25th, the on-site observation took place in ChangLe County.
  Since the beginning of this year, Changle County has thoroughly implemented the deployment requirements of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, closely focusing on “seven areas of intensified breakthroughs.” Adhering to the principle of “projects first,” the county has taken project construction as a key breakthrough and focal point for “boosting the economy, stabilizing growth, and promoting development.” It is making concerted efforts to establish a “five-one” project construction framework—“planning a batch, reserving a batch, applying for a batch, constructing a batch, and completing a batch”—to build momentum and empower the county’s high-quality economic and social development.
  We are planning projects to high standards and strengthening the foundation for county-level development. Chang乐 County has consistently upheld the philosophy that “focusing on projects means focusing on development, and planning projects means planning for the future.” We remain committed to treating project planning and securing projects as top priorities in our economic work, fully leveraging the critical role of investment in stabilizing the overall economy. Since the beginning of this year, we have dynamically planned and implemented 195 key projects with a total investment of 66.1 billion yuan. We have also newly included 128 fixed-asset investment projects in our statistical system. Actively, we are preparing and reserving 205 key projects for 2024, with a projected total investment of 69.4 billion yuan. Among these, we have identified and submitted 29 projects as provincial-level key projects, with a total investment of 16.16 billion yuan, and plan to invest 5.58 billion yuan in 2024. So far this year, 13 projects have successfully been selected as provincial-level key projects, placing us second among the eight counties and cities in terms of the number of provincially prioritized projects. Additionally, 16 projects have been included in the first batch of key projects under Shandong Province’s Three-Year Action Plan for Building Pilot Zones for Green, Low-Carbon, and High-Quality Development, ranking first among the 12 counties and districts. Five projects have been added to the province’s fifth batch of major rural revitalization projects, making us the city’s leader in the number of such projects selected. Six technological upgrade projects have been incorporated into the provincial guidance catalog, and 60 technological upgrade projects have been included in the municipal guidance catalog. By effectively utilizing various investment attraction methods—such as park-based investment promotion, industrial chain-based investment promotion, and “point-to-point” investment promotion—we have facilitated the centralized signing of 33 projects each worth over 100 million yuan during various festivals and events, with a total investment of 27.36 billion yuan. Forty-one projects have already been established, with a total approved investment amount of 6.823 billion yuan.
  We are advancing projects with high efficiency and fostering momentum for economic transformation. We have innovatively implemented a mechanism featuring "monthly briefings and quarterly evaluations," integrating project outcomes into the performance assessment system of "weekly summaries, decadal analyses, and monthly briefings," thereby further strengthening the county-wide atmosphere of dedication and entrepreneurship focused on project implementation and development. In 2023, we dynamically planned and launched 195 key projects with a total investment of 66.1 billion yuan. Among these, construction has resumed or commenced on 133 projects, achieving a 92% commencement rate for implementation-oriented projects. Nineteen projects have been completed and put into operation, generating an additional output value of 6.95 billion yuan. In the first three quarters, the growth rate of fixed-asset investment increased by 10.1 percentage points compared to the first half of the year, marking positive month-on-month growth for six consecutive months. We are fully supporting leading enterprises such as Sunshine, Yingxuan, Mining Machinery, Yuanli, and Shengtai in their innovation and new product development. We have planned and implemented 18 key projects, including the Changle County Provincial Modern Agricultural Industrial Park, the Kangyuan Agricultural Logistics Industrial Park, and the Changle County Rural Industry Integration Demonstration Park, with a total investment of 5.53 billion yuan. We have also newly built the Nanguan Kindergarten, expanded the Gucheng Primary School and the Development Zone School, and renovated five schools including the Experimental Primary School. The South Campus of Changle No. 2 Middle School and the Science and Culture Education Park project are soon to be put into practice.
  High-level service projects strengthen the cohesion and focus on key factors. We firmly uphold the principle that “management of matters within the walls is handled by managers, while matters outside the walls are managed by the government.” Taking the “No. 1 Reform” initiative—the year dedicated to optimizing the business environment—as our guiding framework, we will refine mechanisms, streamline processes, and enhance efficiency. We will spare no effort to overcome constraints on factor resources and ensure that projects proceed with high quality and efficiency. We will innovate the tiered scheduling and promotion mechanism for projects, assigning leading cadres to take charge of all 195 key projects. These assigned leaders will regularly monitor project progress and help enterprises resolve any difficulties they encounter. We will explore innovative mechanisms for allocating factor resources, establishing a database of factor resources and a reserve database of project-specific factor requirements to provide solid support for the development of high-quality projects. We will further deepen the “Start Construction Immediately Upon Land Acquisition” 2.0 approval mechanism, implementing parallel processing for 44 procedures related to land transfer, departmental approvals, municipal services, and intermediary services, thus creating a replicable and scalable model that enables obtaining a construction permit within just 43 days.
GrainMills 220,000-ton High-end Starch Premix Intelligent Manufacturing Project
  The project is invested in by GrainMills (Shandong) Food Ingredients Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Weifang Shengtai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., with an investment of 500 million yuan. It covers an area of 70 mu, with an average investment of 7.14 million yuan per mu, and is a key municipal-level project in Weifang City. The total construction area of the project is 15,000 square meters, including production workshops, packaging workshops, warehouses, and other facilities. More than 260 sets of advanced production and auxiliary equipment have been procured, such as fully automatic bag-opening systems, vertical fully automatic diaphragm filter presses, and fully automatic packaging weighing systems. Once the project is fully completed and put into operation, it will become the largest modified starch manufacturer in China, with an annual capacity to produce 190,000 tons of food additives and 30,000 tons of premix powders. The project will achieve a leap forward in product sophistication, production scale, and market competitiveness. It is expected to generate an annual output value of 2 billion yuan, profits of 240 million yuan, and tax revenues of 120 million yuan.
