Since the start of this year, the New Area Street in Tongshan District, Xuzhou City, has closely followed the theme of high-quality development. By leveraging "United Front + Economy" integration as its core approach, it fully utilizes the resource advantages of the United Front's talent pool and broad connections, deeply embedding United Front work into all areas of economic development.

This has forged a distinctive integrated development path for the "United Front + Economy" model with New Area characteristics. A thorough effort to map out the landscape and establish databases has unlocked the "new momentum" of emerging social strata. These groups represent a vital force driving economic and social progress. Located in the main urban area of Tongshan District and serving as the primary hub for the national-level high-tech zone, the New Area Street hosts over 5,000 enterprises, including 376 above-scale businesses. The emerging social strata here are numerous, widely distributed, and highly skilled, making them a key force for regional high-quality development.

The sub-district has conducted deep investigations into these groups, establishing a comprehensive database that brings elite talent from over 5,000 companies into the United Front work scope, ensuring "clear data, clear conditions, and close ties." Through the New Social Strata Association platform, it organizes grand lectures, ideal and belief education, and exchange discussions to identify and nurture outstanding individuals, guiding them to actively integrate into the broader development landscape. By recognizing advanced models and promoting positive energy, it motivates these individuals to excel, effectively transforming United Front targets into United Front strengths. Projects led by figures from Jiangsu Jingchuang Electric Co., Ltd. and Xuzhou Ji'an Mining Technology Co., Ltd. have become signature highlights of the area's economic growth.

By strengthening communication and liaison, the sub-district is optimizing the "soft environment" for the private economy. It treats enhanced communication as a key pillar for serving private enterprises, comprehensively improving the business environment, and boosting the sense of gain and belonging for private companies. This includes comprehensive collection of information on private economic representatives to build a database, inviting them to attend relevant sub-district meetings to hear their opinions and suggestions, and ensuring private enterprises stay informed and actively participate in major decision-making. The sub-district also prioritizes optimizing the business climate as a driver for private economic growth, establishing a "zero-distance, heart-to-heart" communication mechanism with enterprises.

Regular visits to companies help assess development status, investment intentions, and project needs, while enhancing information sharing with investment promotion departments to safeguard the high-quality development of the private economy with better services and more concrete measures. Focusing on investment attraction, the sub-district is accelerating industrial clustering. Adhering to the broader United Front concept, it has built an investment model led by the party committee's core guidance, coordinated by United Front departments, supported by all departments, and widely participated in by United Front targets. In the first half of the year, it negotiated over 50 investment projects and signed and launched 8 high-quality projects: Senshubangning (Xuzhou) Cross-Border E-Commerce Technology Co., Ltd., operating 1,000 online stores selling accessories and outdoor apparel; the Seven Hundred-Year-Old Fuyang Cultural Experience Base, adopting a "front-store, back-factory" zero-distance production-sales model integrating a central kitchen, dining services, and intangible cultural heritage experiences; and a signed new energy photovoltaic storage project, collaborating with local suppliers to undertake storage systems, solar, energy digitization, and commercial-industrial solar-plus-storage projects, with an annual output value of approximately 800 million yuan.

The New Area Street will continue to deepen the "United Front + Economy" integration model, consolidating people's hearts and pooling strength, continuously converting United Front advantages into economic growth advantages, and contributing more intellectual and united strength to the region's high-quality economic and social development.
