Since the beginning of this year, the city's housing and urban-rural development departments have actively sought project funding from higher levels, using the 'increase' in funds to drive the 'progress' of projects, building momentum and empowering the city's high-quality economic development. The municipal and county-level housing and urban-rural development departments have focused on funding sources such as the central budget, special bonds, additional government bonds, and ultra-long-term special government bonds, identifying the points of alignment and breakthrough between national policies and the city's conditions, and making precise efforts in key areas. In 2024, 34 construction projects in the city's urban underground pipeline network construction and renovation sector passed review by the Provincial Development and Reform Commission and were included in the National Development and Reform Commission's project database, with total investment of 4.74 billion yuan and government bond demand of 3.14 billion yuan; both the number of projects and the amount of funding required rank first in the province.
　　From January to August, the city's housing and urban-rural development sector secured a total of 1.7 billion yuan in project funding, more than quadrupling the 368 million yuan in place in 2023, with both the number of projects and the amount of funding in place ranking second in the province. Among these, 7 old residential community renovation projects secured 135.84 million yuan; 5 urban dilapidated housing renovation projects secured 26.49 million yuan; 14 affordable rental housing projects secured 55.07 million yuan; 4 urban gas pipeline and other aging renewal and renovation projects secured 245 million yuan; 6 urban drainage and waterlogging prevention renovation and upgrading projects secured 618 million yuan; the second batch of 6 pipeline network renovation ultra-long-term special government bond projects secured 590.38 million yuan; 1 environmental infrastructure equipment upgrading and renovation ultra-long-term special government bond project secured 17.8 million yuan; and funding of 6.5 million yuan was secured for the installation of 65 elevators in old residential communities.
