LENGKONG, AYOBANDUNG.COM -- The new toll road in West Java has officially opened.

This new toll road is a direct access to the Bogor Outer Ring Road (BORR) Toll Road through the One Central Business District (OCBD) area.

This toll road can also increase the capacity of the Bogor Highway Intersection - Jalan Sholeh Iskandar - BORR Toll Road on the Kedung Halang On Ramp, known as Zero Kilometer From Toll Road.

This toll road exists because of the cooperation of the Bogor City Government, PT Olympic Bangun Persada, and PT Marga Sarana Jabar.

The BORR Toll Road has been built since August 2023 and can finally be passed starting in March 2025.

This West Java Toll Road is 11.4 km long.

The benefits of this toll road are an alternative road to reduce congestion in Bogor City which can facilitate community movement and improve the economic level of Bogor City as part of the Jabodetabekpunjur Metropolitan Area.

Behind these extraordinary benefits, the BORR Toll Road has an investment value of up to IDR 2.05 trillion.

Previously, it should be noted that during the construction of the BORR Toll Road, 100 trees were cut down for the sake of smooth construction.

To replace the trees that have been cut down, PT Marga Sarana Jabar (MSJ), as a subsidiary of PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk. which manages the Bogor Outer Ring Road (BORR) toll road, planted 1,000 trees.

This tree planting is also a follow-up to the collaboration between Jasa Marga and PT Olympic Bangun Persada (OBP) to develop the BORR toll road corridor area, especially around the Bogor OCBD Area

Planting 1,000 trees along the BORR toll road is also a government commitment to beautify the scenery.

This is the information that can be conveyed, hopefully useful.***

Luhut Inaugurates Athletics Training Center in Pangalengan Bandung, Focuses on Creating World Class Athletes

JABAR EKSPRES – General Chairman of the Executive Board of the Indonesian Athletics Association (PB PASI) who is also the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Menko Marves), Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, inaugurated the new athletic training center in Banjarsari Village, Pangalengan District, Bandung Regency, Thursday (10 /10/2024). Present at the event were the Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) Dito Ariotedjo, the Acting (Pj) Governor of West Java Bey Machmudin, and the West Java Regional Police Chief Inspector General Pol Akhmad Wiyagus as well as several related stakeholders. This facility was built on 10 hectares of land in collaboration with BUMN and various other parties, and is intended as a training facility for national athletes with the aim of producing world-class athletes. According to Luhut, the establishment of this athletic facility has been a dream of PB PASI for decades, because they often use the Madya Stadium as a training ground. “Yes, I think this is PB Pasi's dream for decades. So, we have been depending on training at the Madya Stadium. "Moreover, the air pollution is very bad there," he said when met. According to him, this development plan was carried out three years ago and was even approved by President Jokowi. "And the President agrees, President Jokowi. We will do this, we got 10 hectares of this land from BUMN too," he said. Luhut added that the construction of this training was carried out at an international standard, from stadiums to training grounds. “I think the standards are international standards. There are 90 people from national housing for rooms for athletes. The gym is also good, there is hot water, the kitchen is also very good. "There is also a place to wash clothes, use coins, the water is also good," he said. This training center is also planned as a competition venue which can function as a "training center" for national athletes. According to Luhut, quality training facilities and housing are the keys to developing athletes who are able to excel. “Good athletes are born from good training and facilities too. The hostel must have hot water, good food, a good place to rest. We must appreciate those who excel and give bonuses. "Don't let our athletes die of cold," stressed Luhut. Luhut also considers that Pangalengan is an ideal location for athletics because it has fresh air and a supportive atmosphere, different from big cities which are full of activity. He called West Java a repository for potential athletes and hoped that this training center would become the birthplace of world-class athletes. "West Java is a warehouse for athletes, there is no reason we cannot create world-class athletes," he said. Based on field observations, the training center facilities in Pangalengan are projected to be able to accommodate up to 100 athletes and are equipped with facilities and infrastructure for all athletics events such as an 8 track running track, 100 meter extra sprint track, long and triple jump, javelin throw. Apart from that, there are also steeplech tracks, discus throw, hammer throw, pole vault, shot put, high jump, hill run facilities and spectator stands. There are even several other supporting facilities also prepared, such as a gym, athlete changing rooms, classrooms, dormitory buildings and large vehicle parking. (SOURCE)

Cirebon Regency Government Facilitates 11 Investors in Managing Environmental Permits

Cirebon (ANTARA) – The Government of Cirebon Regency, West Java, is facilitating 11 investors to manage environmental permits because issuing these documents is a key requirement for industrial licensing, enabling investment activities to proceed. Hilmi Rivai, Head of the Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Office (DPMPTSP) of Cirebon Regency, said the office assists investors so that they are not hindered in the licensing process, particularly in preparing environmental management effort documents (UPL). “Many business license applications cannot be processed because the submitted documents are incomplete or do not match field conditions,” said Hilmi Rivai in Cirebon on Thursday. The office noted that the investment value currently queued in Cirebon is around IDR 1.7 trillion, with a planned workforce absorption of 10,000 people. He mentioned that many UPL documents submitted do not meet standards because the report compilers merely copy from general templates without adjusting to actual field conditions. According to him, such documents generally contain invalid data, incorrect location maps, and unclear waste management plans. On this basis, the regional government through the DPMPTSP of Cirebon Regency assists investors in managing these documents. “There must be actual data, accurate maps, and technical plans for waste management,” he explained. He noted that the environmental permit process is relatively long because it requires a detailed review at the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLH). Hilmi said that generally, the review covers groundwater use, waste disposal systems, and impacts on the surrounding community. “We only facilitate. The decision remains with KLH. The principle is that industry should not be established first and problems appear afterward,” he said. He added that DPMPTSP is currently undertaking two strategies: encouraging the use of credible environmental consultants and providing intensive consultation opportunities from the start. In addition, coordination with KLH is carried out to streamline bureaucracy considered unnecessary so that document evaluations can be faster without sacrificing verification quality. Hilmi emphasized that accelerating permits should not overlook environmental aspects. Investment must be welcomed while safeguarding the environment. He noted that actual investment realization up to August 2025 in Cirebon Regency reached IDR 2.25 trillion, or about 65 percent of the annual target of IDR 3.2 trillion. They do not want investors to leave merely because of technical issues, but the regulations must still be enforced. “If business actors comply and prepare the documents correctly, the process actually does not take long,” he said.

West Java Legislators Encourage South West Java Development Through Investment

INILAHKORAN, Bandung - West Java legislator Yod Mintaraga encouraged the West Java Provincial Government to develop the South West Java region through investment. Because according to Yod, so far the development in South West Java is still far from other regions, so it needs to be encouraged for equalization. One of them is through investment, both foreign and local. Moreover, he admits that there is a lot of potential that can be developed in South West Java, to be encouraged to improve the welfare of the people of the region. "Investment must be encouraged to South West Java. Now there is still a gap, there are still many poor people in southern West Java, but we do not rule out the possibility that in big cities poverty still occurs," said Yod, recently. The hope is that investment will also accelerate connectivity in the region, as well as infrastructure. Because both are central, in accelerating equitable development. Given that this, said Yod, is interrelated, because a representative link is needed to encourage investment. "If investment is encouraged to South West Java, the risk is that infrastructure development must also be encouraged to South West Java," he said. (SOURCE)

To Boost Economic Growth, Garut Regent Offers Strategic Investment Opportunities in the Animal Feed Sector

GARUT NEWS, BOGOR CITY – Garut Regent Abdusy Syakur Amin took advantage of the momentum of the Garut Regency Tourism Promotion and Gathering held by Asgar Jaya at Lake Bogor Raya, Bogor City, on Sunday (September 28, 2025), to invite investors to invest in Garut Regency. In his presentation, Regent Syakur mentioned that Garut's Human Development Index (HDI) still ranks 25th-27th out of 27 regencies/cities in West Java. In addition, he also highlighted economic disparities, especially in terms of gross regional domestic product (GRDP) per capita. “Garut has only reached Rp29 million per capita, while the average for West Java is Rp56 million, and the national average is Rp78 million. This means that Garut is still far behind,” he said. Syakur emphasized that increasing community productivity is the key to improving this situation. He believes that the agricultural sector, especially corn, has great potential if it is processed optimally within the region. Currently, Garut contributes 43% of West Java's corn production, but most of the harvest is sold raw and processed outside the region into animal feed. “If there is a feed mill directly in Garut, farmers will not need to buy products from outside. The distribution chain will be shorter, and prices can be more stable,” he explained. The Garut Regent also invited business actors to bring technology and capital to Garut, especially for the animal feed industry. He added that the demand for corn will increase in the future in line with the national Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program initiated by President-elect Prabowo Subianto, as it will drive the demand for broiler chickens and eggs. “We are ready to facilitate incoming investments. Your presence motivates us to continue improving so that Garut does not always rank at the bottom,” he concluded. [SOURCE]
