Overview of Linhai Economic Development Zone 

With a planned area of 11.4 square kilometers, the Linhai Economic Development Zone (LHEDZ,浙江临海经济技术开发区) was established in May 1992, and later in 1993 elevated to a provincial economic development zone approved by the government of Zhejiang. Regional adjustment in February 2001 brought the planned area expansion to 25 sq km with a population of 33,000 (subordinate areas included). With the industrial development as its main objective, LHEDZ is fully equipped with functional facilities, and strives to harmonize industry, trade with education, entertainment and residence.
