Regional development of Lugang Town

The original Lugang market town was located on the beach at the intersection of the Yangtze River and Zhanghe River. As time went by, the Yangtze River bed rose year by year, and the streets of the old town were flooded in successive flood seasons and gradually declined.

After the Yangtze River floods in 1998, the Party Central Committee and the State Council made the decision to "flatten floods, return farmland to lakes, and resettle immigrants to build towns." The town party committee and government seized this historic opportunity and actively After applying for the immigration town construction project, with the attention and concern of leaders at the provincial and municipal levels, Lugang Market Town was listed as the first batch of immigration town construction sites by the Anhui Provincial Government, thus kicking off the construction of Lugang New Area.

By the end of 1999, the construction of the starting area of ??the new district was basically completed, and a brand-new new immigration district was built.

In early 2000, Lugang Town was approved by the provincial government as a central organic town in Anhui Province. At the same time, it was listed as a pilot town for the transfer of the use rights of construction land collectively owned by farmers nationwide. Lugang New District is located on the north side of Ashan Road. Binjiang Avenue, Zhongshan South Road and Jingsan Road planned by Wuhu Municipal Government pass through the area. The planning and construction of the new area adheres to a high starting point, high standards, and high quality. The overall plan and detailed construction regulations for the starting area were jointly prepared by the School of Architecture of Tsinghua University and the Wuhu Planning and Design Institute and reviewed and determined by the Municipal Planning Review Committee. The overall plan of the new district covers an area of ??1.02 square kilometers and can accommodate a population of more than 30,000 people. The starting area covers an area of ??0.5 square kilometers and is divided into five residential areas: business, villas, two-story residences, multi-story residences, and leisure parks.

As of 2004, the new area *** had completed a total investment of 150 million yuan and housed more than 8,000 residents. The area has complete public infrastructure such as water supply, electricity, roads, postal services, communications, and cable TV, as well as adequate greening and an elegant environment.
