Thirteen investment projects valued at 41.5 billion yuan ($6.02 billion) broke ground in Zhoushan, East China's Zhejiang province on Feb 21. 

The projects are mainly related to the city's pillar industries such as oil and gas, grain, clean energy as well as advanced manufacturing. 

Among them is a 2.48-billion-yuan maize deep processing facility that will be critical to the formation of a complete grain industrial chain in Zhoushan. 

An offshore wind farm, which will cost 3.7 billion yuan to build, will supply clean power for the city's green petrochemical base and optimize its energy supply networks.   

A one-billion-yuan resettlement housing project, which will be launched in Putuo district's Xiaxin village, will greatly advance the renovations of the city's old urban areas and improve residents' living conditions. 

Zhoushan will also sustain efforts to tap its natural resources and geographical location to build a global resources allocation base for bulk commodities, said local authorities.
