MOEA to beef up industrial park service centers

This article was published by the Macroview Weekly on July 25, 2007. It reports that the government in Taiwan is planning to earmark NT$400 million for the construction of two service centers at the Lize Industrial Park in the northeastern county of Yilan and the Tainan Technology Industrial Park in southern Taiwan.

Construction, slated to begin in September 2007, has been organized by the Industrial Development Bureau under the Ministry of Economic Affairs, in an effort to strengthen service and upgrade service quality in the two industrial parks and attract investors.

BES Engineer Corp. has been commissioned to help develop and sell Lize Industrial Park, a 330-hectare property near Provincial Route 2, a mere five-minute drive from the Taipei-Yilan Freeway's Suao Interchange and less than an hour's drive from Taipei.

Lize is the best emerging area for investment within a 50-kilometer redius from Taipei city center. It was designed for three-stage development and construction. Sales and rentals of the first and second stages of construction are almost complete.

The Industrial Development Bureau has also authorized RSEA Engineering Corp. to develop and sell Tainan Technology Industrial Park, a 496-hectare property to the north of Taiwan City's An-nan district, about a 20-minute drive from downtown Tainan.
