Entrusted by the county government, we now report on the work of "removing counties to set up cities" in our county as follows: \x0d\ In order to change the economic growth mode of our county, realize leap-forward development, speed up the process of industrialization and urbanization in our county, and enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of regional economy, according to the instructions of the leaders of the county party committee and the government, the county civil affairs bureau made a special trip to the Provincial Civil Affairs Department and the Department of Geographical Names on February-0/2, and I consulted and learned about "removing counties to set up cities". On February 23, the meeting of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee decided that the work of "withdrawing counties to set up cities" in our county was officially launched. \x0d\ 1。 The Policy, Background and Situation of "Removing Counties to Establish Cities" \x0d\ In order to promote the pace of urbanization, the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee proposed: "Improve the criteria for establishing cities, strictly examine and approve procedures, and orderly change cities into counties with administrative division conditions". The State Council decided to unfreeze the examination and approval of "removing counties to set up cities" that had been frozen for 16 years, and promote "removing counties to set up cities" in an orderly manner. From 20 13, 12 to 13, the central government held a national urbanization work conference with high specifications, which clarified the planning of the main functional areas in the country, made arrangements for the overall layout of urbanization, and put forward the urbanization strategic pattern of "two horizontals and three verticals". Our county is in the planned "Wanjiang City Belt". \x0d\ According to the situation in our province, there are only 6 county-level cities in the province 16, including Chaohu, the former prefecture-level city, and the structure is extremely unreasonable. At the same time, compared with neighboring provinces, there are obvious gaps in the number of county-level cities (365,438+0 county-level cities in Shandong Province, 22 counties in Zhejiang Province, 27 counties in Jiangsu Province, 22 counties in Henan Province and 24 counties in Hubei Province). Therefore, the provincial party committee and the provincial government intend to take this opportunity to adjust the layout and structure of county-level cities in our province and support qualified counties to actively declare county-level city reform. \x0d\ At present, the provincial government is making a plan of "withdrawing counties to set up cities". For the counties (districts) that initially meet the requirements, according to the corresponding indicators and layout needs, 20 lists of "withdrawing counties to set up cities" have been discharged successively, and our county ranks among them. \x0d\ According to the application in various places, the application materials of 165 counties have been submitted to the State Council for approval, among which there is only one "Qianshan County" in our province. Six other counties are waiting in line for approval by the provincial government (including Guangde County in Xuancheng). \x0d\ II。 Conditions of \x0d\ (1) Economic development in our county has begun to take shape \x0d\20 13. Our county has achieved a regional GDP of 7.22 billion yuan, the proportion of three industries is 22.0:44.3:33.7, and the per capita GDP reaches 20,365,438. \x0d\ There are 355,800 people in the county, including 72,000 engaged in non-agricultural industries, 54,000 engaged in non-agricultural industries in Jingchuan Town, where the county government is located, and 247,000 employees in the county, including 93,000 in the primary industry, 66,543,800 in the secondary industry and 93,000 in the tertiary industry. \x0d\ There are 107 industrial enterprises above designated size in the county, with a total industrial output value of 10238 billion yuan and an industrial added value of 2.36 billion yuan. \x0d\ Total annual import and export volume123.99 million USD. Among them, the export 1058 1 ten thousand dollars. \x0d\ (II) Steady development of social undertakings \x0d\ There are schools 158 in the county, with 38,000 students, including Xuancheng Industrial School, Internet School 1, provincial excellent private schools 1, three provincial engineering technology research centers, and scientific and technological innovation enterprises/kloc-. Thousands of people have 3.3 medical beds and 3.4 health technicians. Culture, sports, radio and television are competing to develop, basically meeting the needs of people's cultural life, and the social security system is sound. \x0d\ Our county has been awarded the title of "National Advanced County in Science and Technology Progress", selected as "Top Ten Green Development Counties in China", the first "National Demonstration Base of Organic Agriculture (Tea)" in the province, a county with strong tourism economy of the provincial government, a demonstration county of leisure agriculture and rural tourism, and a model county with double support in the province. \x0d\ (III) Urban public infrastructure is relatively complete \x0d\ Urban public infrastructure is relatively complete. Among them, the tap water penetration rate is 100%, the road paving rate is 100%, and there is a good drainage system. County area 10.6 square kilometers. There is a sewage treatment plant, which processes 20,000 cubic meters of sewage every day, with a sewage treatment rate of 74% and a harmless treatment rate of domestic garbage of100%; The urban per capita park green area is 7. 1 m2, the urban greening rate reaches 32%, and the forest greening rate in the whole region is 64.2%. \x0d\ (4) There are unique advantages in relaxing conditions \x0d\ According to consultation, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is currently formulating a new standard of "removing counties to set up cities", which is expected to be promulgated in the middle of this year. According to the new standard of "removing counties to set up cities" in the consultation, our county's GDP and other economic indicators are not dominant. However, the new standard relaxed the conditions. Namely: First, there are more than two "4A" scenic spots in counties rich in tourism resources, which can be relaxed; Second, the old revolutionary base areas in history can be relaxed. \x0d\ Our county is rich in cultural tourism resources. At present, there are 5 national cultural protection units and 5 provincial cultural protection units 1 1. Jingxian County is a famous "hometown of rice paper" and the birthplace of national rice paper, and its production skills are listed in the world intangible cultural heritage. There are 12 scenic spots open to the outside world, including 5 scenic spots at 4A level and 5 scenic spots at 3A level. 20 10-20 13 won the city's tourism economic development award for four consecutive years. \x0d\ At present, our county has been listed in the Outline of the Construction and Development Plan of the International Cultural Tourism Demonstration Zone in Southern Anhui approved by the State Council, and the tourism industry will have greater development space. \x0d\ At the same time, our county is historically the seat of the headquarters of the New Fourth Army, the seat of the Southeast Bureau of the Central Committee, and the place where the Southern Anhui Incident occurred, belonging to the old revolutionary base areas. \x0d\ III。 The meaning of "x0d" We believe that "x0d" is conducive to the economic transformation of our county, speeding up the integration of our county economy into the Yangtze River Delta economic circle, further expanding foreign exchanges, improving the investment environment, and attracting more funds and resources to serve our county's economic and social development. The second is to further clarify the urban functional orientation of our county, upgrade planning standards, improve infrastructure conditions, upgrade urban quality, optimize urban spatial structure and management pattern, and enhance the comprehensive carrying capacity of the county. Third, it is conducive to promoting the transfer of agricultural population to cities and the citizenization of the transferred population, promoting the rapid development of secondary and tertiary industries, accelerating the adjustment and optimization of the economic structure of our county, and promoting the coordinated advancement of urbanization and new rural construction. Fourthly, it will further enhance the visibility of our county, and make our county's tourism resource advantages play a greater benefit advantage. Fifth, after "removing counties to set up cities", the central and provincial governments will support more project funds, raise the standard of financial support and further increase the intensity of urban construction. Sixthly, "setting up a city from a county" is also the urgent desire of the leading group of the county party committee government and all the people in Jingxian county in recent years. \x0d\ IV。 Application Procedures \x0d\ The people's government at the county level shall organize the civil affairs at the county level and relevant departments to formulate plans, and then the municipal people's government at the next higher level shall ask for instructions step by step until the State Council. The State Council was audited by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the opinions of relevant ministries and commissions were solicited. The Ministry of Civil Affairs drafted the draft for approval and submitted it to the State Council. After the State Council agreed, the Ministry of Civil Affairs gave a reply to the provincial government. \x0d\ v. Planning and current work \ x0d \ First, improve the leading institutions. Set up a leading group for withdrawing counties and setting up cities, with the county party secretary as the leader and the leaders in charge of the four major groups as the deputy heads, and the civil affairs bureau, housing construction committee, finance bureau, agriculture committee, land and resources bureau, tourism bureau, party history office, archives bureau (county annals office), statistics bureau, economic and information commission, commerce bureau, public security bureau, Jingchuan town and other relevant departments as members, and hold regular working meetings to solve the existing difficulties and problems in time and incorporate them into the funds for withdrawing counties and setting up cities. \x0d\ The second is to formulate an implementation plan. Clarify the guiding ideology, objectives, tasks and implementation steps, refine the specific tasks and measures at each stage, decompose and link the tasks at each stage to relevant units, and implement them to specific responsible persons. \x0d\ III. Do a good job in declaration. Set up a working group to write application materials, expound and demonstrate the necessity and significance of carrying out the work of withdrawing counties and building cities from the aspects of basic conditions, economic strength, tourism resources and traffic location advantages, development potential and conditions of old revolutionary areas, actively connect with the municipal government and higher civil affairs departments, and speed up the reporting of application materials for withdrawing counties and building cities. \x0d\ Fourth, widely publicize and launch. Combined with the practice of mass line education, taking the opportunity of going deep into the grassroots level, we will give full play to the role of radio, television, websites and other media, widely publicize the great significance of withdrawing counties and building cities, and guide the party and government cadres and masses at all levels in the county to actively participate in the work of withdrawing counties and building cities, forming a strong synergy between "everyone participates, * * * building * * *" and the work of withdrawing counties and building cities. \x0d\ VI。 Suggested name of the city \x0d\ According to the relevant provisions of the Regulations on the Administration of Geographical Names in the State Council and the actual situation of our county, the preliminary research opinion of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee is that it is tentatively named "Jingxian City". Before \x0d\, three suggested names were put forward and reported here for your reference. \x0d\ 1, Jingzhou city. Due to the existing "Jingchuan County" within the jurisdiction of Gansu Province, according to the relevant provisions of the Regulations on the Administration of Geographical Names, the principle that the names of administrative areas within a unified administrative area cannot be repeated is adopted, so "Jingchuan City" cannot be used when our county is renamed as a city. The word \x0d\ Zhou is similar to "biography". The word "state" means "living by the river". (building a wall by the river to fight floods) and "living in the water" (building a wall in the flat and low-lying areas to fight floods). This form of living along the river is called "Zhou", which means to set up a city by water, which is very similar to the geography and landform of our country. \x0d\2。 Water mirror city. Qingyijiang was called water mirror in ancient times. According to "Ming Di in the Later Han Dynasty", "Wuhu is famous for its water", which is also the origin of the place name of Jingxian County. \x0d\3。 Shi Jing. Start directly with the county name and continue.
