| Promotion of the Establishment of Tele-Communications Industries |
In order to make full use of the 17% of the land area that are left for
the residents, to contribute to the reduction of the high unemployment
rate, and to promote vitalization of our town, the Town of Kadena is directing
their attention to the multimedia (tele-communications) industry which
does not require large-scale land area and has a possibility to create
employment and is actively inviting such enterprises through our Multimedia
(Tele-Communications) Industry Industry invitation Project. Kadena was
designated Multimedia Related Industry Promotion District based on the
Special Resolution of Okinawa Development Plan that was established for
the advancement of the information technology industry. In addition, along
with taxation exemption based on above law and the Kadena Tele-Communications
Industry Promotion Ordinance, Kadena promotes industry invitations through
the applications of rent subsidies, employment subsidies, interest subsidy
grants.
Also, in preparation for industry invitation, utilization of existing
public facilities and in-town private facilities, and the construction
of a new facility to serve as a focal point are underway. At Kadena, these
policies are being applied and the invitations of multimedia (tele-communications)
industries are actively pursued. As of July 2002, 11 companies have established
businesses in Kadena. We are making further efforts to invite more enterprises
into our town. |
