Overview of Taizhou Economic Development Zone (台州经济开发区)

Taizhou Economic Development Zone (TEDZ) was established on the Zhejiang coast on Jan 30, 1997, integrated with the provincial economic development zone, the provincial investment zone for Taiwan businesspeople, and the provincial high and new technology industrial park.

The Zone covers a total area of 30 square kilometers, divided into two districts by Donghuan Road. The 16-square-kilometer east district is a scientific and technological park, which focuses on technology-intensive and export-oriented programs. Enormous eco-friendly modern manufacturing industry and process industry have been cultivated there. Scores of characteristic parks have been established there, including the industrial park of high and new technology, the investment park for Taiwan businesspeople and an electromechanical industrial park. The west district includes the city's 3-sq-km downtown and residential areas and schools. The downtown is composed of an administrative and cultural center, financial and commercial trading center, sports center and other functional buildings. It is the most intensive central block in new Taizhou equipped with abundant human resources and the congregation of technology, information and capital. 

Since its establishment, TEDZ has accumulated up to 1.5 billion yuan ($224.75 million) for infrastructure construction. There are 36 main streets with a total length of 48 kilometers covering a total area of 1,980,000 sq m, and the green coverage exceeds 300 mu (20 hectares). TEDZ has already created a sound environment for investment and development. The east district boasts complete infrastructure, including telecommunication, electric power, water supply, drainage and sewerage. More road expansion construction is to build the "two verticals and four horizontals" road system.
