With machines roaring and tower cranes standing in clusters, a new round of key engineering and construction projects in Jiuquan City has recently been launched in a concentrated wave, with the upsurge of project commencement now in full swing.
　　On May 25, Jiuquan City launched a 100-day sprint action for major project construction across the city. Taking the "Three Grasps and Three Promotions" action as the lever, it further entrenched the concept of "projects as the king," beat the "battle drum" for project commencement, issued the "mobilization order" to race against time on progress, and sounded the "advance bugle" for investment attraction. A working mechanism was established under which leaders of the city's four major leadership bodies take charge of key projects, applying extraordinary efforts and extraordinary measures to drive the implementation of major project construction tasks, and truly putting into practice the spirit of the provincial conference on mobilizing the "Two Major" construction deployment and scheduling fixed-asset investment, the meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, and the citywide fixed-asset investment scheduling meeting.
　　This year the city plans to start 72 projects, with 251 projects under construction. To seize the initiative and open up new prospects, the 100-day sprint action requires the entire city to work with genuine vigor and immerse itself in hard work, driven by a sense of urgency that "we cannot afford to wait," a sense of crisis that "we cannot afford to be slow," and a sense of responsibility that "we cannot sit still." Through concentrated efforts, the action aims to start a batch of major projects, resolve a batch of difficult problems, accelerate a batch of project construction, solve a batch of funding difficulties, and plan a batch of policy-backed projects, ensuring that by June the city's commencement rate for new projects reaches 65 percent and the commencement rate for provincially listed major projects reaches 85 percent. The goal is to complete 43.8 billion yuan in fixed-asset investment in the first half of the year, an increase of 15 percent, and 60.9 billion yuan by the end of August, an increase of 18 percent.
　　It is reported that the 100-day sprint action runs from May 25 to September 5, focusing on five key tasks: sprinting on project commencement, sprinting on project progress, sprinting on difficult problems, sprinting on project planning, and sprinting on funding implementation. It will make every effort to advance project construction in areas including the Huantai Energy Jinta 125 MW all-vanadium flow battery shared energy storage power station, the Liuhong Railway, the Shagehuang large-scale base, and Yumen Kangnong pesticide products.
　　On commencement, the action keeps a close eye on key links, clearly defines key tasks, responsible departments, and time nodes, and accelerates the processing of preliminary procedures. On progress, it seizes the golden period of construction and advances projects with clear responsibility, node-based scheduling, and goal-oriented management. On difficult problems, it keeps a close watch on difficulties in project construction involving land use, energy use, environmental impact assessment, demolition and relocation, and funding, forms a list of problems and a list of factor-guarantee needs, and adopts measures such as on-site office work, upward coordination, and stationed follow-up to fully coordinate and resolve the difficulties. On project planning, it gives play to the functions of the citywide project planning committee, conducts in-depth study of relevant policies, and seizes major opportunities such as the spirit of the symposium on promoting large-scale development of the western region in the new era, joint construction of the "Belt and Road," and the development of new quality productive forces, to plan more than 1,000 projects of various types. On funding implementation, it carefully studies policies related to "Two New," innovation and entrepreneurship, the "Three-North" project, and the citizenization of agricultural transfer population, plans meticulously, and for the first batch of ultra-long-term special treasury bonds already reported to the state as well as central budget investment projects for underground pipeline network renovation and for shoring up weak links in the social sector, mobilizes all resources and forces to report and strive for support, aiming to obtain the maximum amount of support. At the same time, it enriches project financing methods and increases support for various types of special financing. By revitalizing existing assets, integrating resources, and introducing social capital, it raises project funds through multiple channels. For key projects, it encourages and supports banking institutions to conduct overall management through "credit portfolio" credit-enhancement methods, giving play to the multiplier effect.
