Businesses in Zhejiang are capitalizing on the province's "At Most One Visit" reform opportunities, which have streamlined investment, settlement and development.

The changes are designed to guarantee the completion of all administrative procedures companies and citizens may need within one center.

As President Xi Jinping calls for greater balance between economic growth and environmental protection, green development is redefining China's industrial market, and Zhejiang has increased the competition.

The ENV New Energy Science and Technology Park is in its first phase of construction in Changxing, Huzhou city.

Focused on global, strategic and high-tech innovative products, the industrial enterprise benefits from Zhejiang's improved administrative system.

Zhu Chen, an officer from Changxing Administrative Service Center, pointed out that ENV has undergone a series of examinations and shortened approval times to "one and half months".

One ENV engineer attributed much of the company's progress and success to the center, saying: "We received great concern and support when initiating and implementing this project."

Overlooking Changxing's Taihu Lake, Longemont Paradise is another large scale, 20 billion yuan ($2.94 billion) investment project integrating tourism, leisure and entertainment, scheduled for completion by the end of 2018.

Xiao Guangfu, chief of the pre-stage development department of the Shanghai Longemont Tourism Investment Co, said the site selection and rapid development of services were provided by Zhejiang's local officers.

"I can't believe how efficiently our examination and approval procedures are being fulfilled," he added.

"Every minute counts with a project like this, and already, the six-star Longemont Diamond Hotel will begin operations by the end of this year－nearly one year ahead of schedule."
