The Government today (October 6) launched an Expression of Interest (EOI) exercise, seeking innovative ideas from interested parties for making best use of Tin Shui Wai (TSW) Area 112 Site B to give fresh economic impetus and create more jobs for the district.
"The EOI exercise is conducted to ascertain market feedback and interest in using the site on a temporary basis, say for five years, for achieving the social objectives of meeting the specific needs of the TSW community," said a spokesman for the Development Bureau.
The proposals shall endeavour to:
(a) create economic activities, jobs or training opportunities in TSW areas;
(b) enhance social support, networking or services to TSW residents;
(c) boost the vibrancy of the TSW community through means, such as recreational and entertainment facilities, and so on; and
(d) enable TSW to become an attractive location for both locals and visitors, with a view to increasing consumption and business in the district.
The ideas and suggestions received may be used by the Government in formulating the way forward for the subsequent tender exercise.
More details of the EOI exercise are available at www.devb.gov.hk and www.landsd.gov.hk. Interested parties should submit their EOI proposals to the Development Bureau by noon on December 12 this year.
