The Sumedang Regency Government has officially proposed several strategic infrastructure development projects, with the primary focus on the construction of a Drinking Water Supply System (SPAM) in Ujungjaya District, aimed at accelerating economic growth within the Rebana Metropolitan Area.

“Alhamdulillah, we had the opportunity to meet and present various development proposals for Sumedang Regency, including the construction of the Ujungjaya Drinking Water Supply System,” said Sumedang Regent Dony Ahmad Munir on Thursday (June 18, 2026).

According to Regent Dony, Ujungjaya District plays a crucial role as the location of several National Strategic Projects (PSNs). The area is designated for the development of the People's School Program, the Territorial Development Battalion, the Insan Cendekia State Islamic Senior High School (MAN Insan Cendekia), and the Ujungjaya–Butom Industrial Estate, all of which are integrated into the broader development of the Rebana region.

“With the rapid development of these projects, the demand for clean water has become increasingly urgent. Therefore, we seek the support of the Ministry of Public Works to expedite the realization of the Ujungjaya SPAM project,” he stated.

In addition to the Ujungjaya initiative, the Sumedang Regency Government has also proposed the optimization of raw water utilization from the Cipanas Dam and the expansion of drinking water supply systems to other areas across the regency. These efforts are intended to broaden access to clean water services for communities throughout Sumedang.

“This is part of our ongoing commitment to improving public services, particularly by ensuring greater access to clean water for the people of Sumedang,” Dony added.

Beyond water and sanitation infrastructure, Regent Dony also highlighted the urgency of upgrading several strategic road sections across the regency. To strengthen its proposals, the Sumedang Regency Government has previously submitted official letters and technical proposals to the relevant ministries.

“We will continue proactively engaging with the central government to secure support for infrastructure development in Sumedang. We ask for the prayers and support of all Sumedang residents so that these initiatives can proceed smoothly and be realized soon for the advancement of Sumedang Regency,” he concluded.

Cirebon Investment Reaches Rp2.25 Trillion by August 2025

INILAHCIREBON.ID, – The Cirebon Regency Government, West Java, recorded an investment realization of Rp2.25 trillion by August 2025. This figure is equivalent to 65 percent of the annual target of Rp3.2 trillion. The Head of the Cirebon Regency Investment and Integrated Services Agency (DPMPTSP), Hilmi Rivai, said that this achievement was quite encouraging. However, he emphasized that there was still a lot of work to be done to actually reach the target. "The investment realization is already Rp2.25 trillion or 65 percent of the target. We are optimistic that we can reach Rp3.2 trillion by the end of the year," said Hilmi in Cirebon on Tuesday (2/9/2025). Footwear Factory Becomes Main Pillar Hilmi explained that the majority of investments are still supported by the footwear industry. Many investors, including local entrepreneurs, are investing capital through the construction of new factories and expansion of production capacity. This labor-intensive sector is considered the driving force behind investment in Cirebon Regency because it is able to absorb a large workforce. “The labor-intensive industry is still showing a positive trend. Investors see Cirebon as quite potential,” said Hilmi. Encouraging Quality Investment Furthermore, Hilmi emphasized the importance of a long-term strategy so that investment does not only pursue quantity but also quality. The local government, he said, is committed to creating a business climate that is friendly to investment while providing tangible benefits to the community. “Without fundamental reforms, the realization of investment will only be a statistical achievement that does not touch the welfare of the community,” he said. Accelerating Services and Digitalization To support this, the Cirebon Regional Government has accelerated licensing services with a digital system. Investors also receive assistance from the planning stage until the permit is completed. In addition to the footwear industry, the local government has begun to expand the promotion of other sectors such as tourism, modern agriculture, and the creative industry. “We want the investments that come in to not only be large in terms of numbers, but also sustainable and have an impact on the community,” said Hilmi.

ORTALJABAR, BANDUNG CITY - Taking place at the West Java DPRD Building, a joint commitment was signed between the Governor of West Java, the Chairman of the West Java DPRD, Pangdam III Siliwangi, Pangdam Jaya, the West Java Police Chief, the West Java High Prosecutor's Office, and the Metro Jaya Police Chief regarding the synergy in eradicating thuggery in West Java, on February 21. The Chairperson of the West Java Indonesian Employers Association (APINDO) Ning Wahyu Astutik appreciated and fully supported the steps of the Governor of West Java Dedi Mulyadi, in creating a safe and conducive environment for the business world by eradicating mass organizations that disrupt business activities. "This commitment is a breath of fresh air for business actors who have been facing disruptions from mass organizations, both in industrial areas and industries outside the area," he said, Thursday (27/2/2025). The Head of APINDO Jabar believes that Dedi Mulyadi's commitment to members of thugs and mass organizations that hinder the business world will have a positive impact on the investment climate in West Java, especially the guarantee of security in its efforts. So that it can increase investor confidence to invest in West Java. Security in business will protect investment in West Java, which also means protecting employees to continue working and avoid potential layoffs (PHK), as well as protecting the community around the company that has a business as a multiplier effect from the investment. Ning said that currently West Java has 1.76 million unemployed or 23.7 percent of the national and is the highest in Indonesia. Therefore, it is important to ensure that no more workers become victims of layoffs due to the departure of investment from West Java. On the contrary, efforts are needed to create more new jobs by improving the investment climate, one of which is through guarantees of business security. (SOURCE)
