The Industrial Advisory Board talks about the future of Planatery Developments within Fourth District.

Z-RFE3 planetary commodities is being shipped away

YC 115.12.4

The industrial corporate powers of the Fourth District better known as the Industrial Advisory Board [IAB] has since a few weeks been pushing for a more open approach to its advertisement and development of Fourth Planetary Industrial sector. Meetings have been taking place in the alliance Headquarters in 3KB-J0 and there is still a lot of discussion taking place.

We need to show that we are ready to increase our traffic in the District, the area would benefit greatly in the increase of revenues and there is a lot of opportunities that could be harvest in this region of space and its planets many of them is still unexploited. Today any corporation can be allowed to put up planetary harvesters and industrial command centers on planets, our tax is set to 7% both for import and export for any corporation or capsuleer that is interested of doing so, and we would recommend to keeping that level at least for the time being. We have compared our tax level to those in Empire controlled space, they are set at 10% on export and 5% on import, and just recently capsuleers are now taking over more and more of the custom offices they want to put their own tax on top of that. We know that many will do their own deals with InterBus to reduce this tax or have other means of doing so but this will only allowed them a reduction 50 % on the taxes which then will add the capsuleers own tax on top of that. They need to profit from it so we foresee that taxes will in the end be much higher than our own. So we are still competitive when it comes to District planetary custom tax, and even more generous to those that are our allies, which then are reduced significantly. But we need to increase the awareness of our space throughout the cluster, let corporations know that they can come to us and we will protect their investments and in return they can profit from our valuable resources. The treat of Sansha have never been lower since the alliance took control and even hostile capsuleer organisations is no treat to us at this moment. So the time for investment is now. Providence is a perfect region due to its open door policy when it comes to newcomers or just profit seeking companies. It´s a perfect area to set you up for good, maybe not the richest region of space but much more so than other high exploited Empire regions. So first for the future is to increase our awareness of similar models of planetary development, to measure the competition, second is to increase our visibility in target areas such as Providence itself, Domain region second, and third to other target region. We also want to improve our relationship with other State loyal entities to make use of our space, it´s not only the State itself that should benefit for our ventures here, others can to, and that will be up to the Office of Foreign Affairs in either case.

This was a brief summery from one of the many meetings the board has concluded at the HQ of the alliance in 3KB. We in Fourth District News Service will keep you updated on the continuing economical development of the District.For more information on Fourth District Planetary effort and how you can help to push State interest into null sec you can find here.

Joint project with Aurora Arcology and 4TH District planetary developement on Ayem.

Fourth District News Service can now confirm a joint planetary development project with the humanitarian project "Aurora Arcology". The Auroura project have during its existence worked to help refugees from different kind of conflict zone through out the EVE cluster. It has done a great job to transport them and give them a place away from conflict and in the long run hopefully a new start in life.

Weeks of negotiation has been develop a joint project to start to send these refugees to Fourth District in a attempt to increase inhabitants of the colony of Ayem. This will take pace during the coming year and hopefully will both enriched the effort of Aurora Arcology and the planetary development of Planet Ayem on Fourth District.

We will work closely both with District Infrastructure Department and with Auroura Arcology to see how this will progress.

The spokesperson of the colony is Commander Demion Samenel

"I oversee its progress and tries to work both with the alliance council and with our Infrastructure development as a mediator and the board of CEO´s and other stake holders that have an interest in its development. And of course I also stay in contact with the military council of Fourth District to assist in treat assessment." 

We hope that this will bring new prosperous times for the colony, and we at District News Service sure hope all the best for Jandice Ylmadris and her Auroura Arcology.

Project Moitte - An Overview

Over the past year, Lai Dai Infinity Systems (LDIS) has been undertaking a "Bottom-Up Industry" project in the District called Project Moitte.  Bottom-Up Industry might be described as encouraging local lower-tier industrial activities, such as mining and planetary colonies, by creating immediate competitive local demand for those goods though the production of end-user goods like modules and ships.

For LDIS, the focus has been on Tech II modules and ships.   Our members try to maintain market presence in 3KB-J0, while production is focused in 3D-CQU.  This creates a secondary materials market in 3D-CQU, where LDIS sells Tech II Components and encourages the sale of various Planetary Commodities and Minerals at the outpost.  In addition, LDIS is a buyer for Providence Moon Products, buying various levels of Moon Products for up-reacting and then manufacturing of the Tech II Components.

This however does not mean it is without challenges.  A big challenge is sourcing minerals locally for manufacturing of large modules and ships.  The popularity of Tier 3 Battlecruisers creates a huge mineral demand, both for the ship and its battleship sized weapons.  The same minerals are roughly equivalent to roughly a dozen cruisers (potentially fully fitted)!

Those looking to help support Project Moitte can do so by helping to mine and develop the resources of the District and Providence as a whole.  You can focus on selling and buying in 3KB-J0 (ships, mods, rigs), Z-RFE3 (ore, minerals, moon materials), and 3D-CQU (minerals, components, tools).

Places in the Fourth District - Alliance production station "Kimotoro Dreams"

The station CNO Kimotoro Dreams, named after the alliance Kimotoro Directive was a second attempt of a Caldari capsuleer alliance. Lasted sadly not more than a few months back in YC 108, but the dream of a Caldari alliance never went away, and today it resides within the Fourth District. The station, of an amarrian design, so suitable named is a factory outpost and fits with the idea of “building of a Caldari alliance” so well. It hosts the second smallest population of the outposts in the District, with just a few hundred thousand employees and their families.

The station is today the main production hub of the District, and its increased production lines has come to much use, both supplying the District with variety of ships and modules and the region at large, making it one of the most primed stations around the region. Attracting capsuleers from every corner of Providence. It is placed over a large gas planet in 3D-CQU solar system, providing a large quantity of different gases.

Fourth District corporation Lai Dai Infinity Systems has made the station its prime production hub, providing only the best of T2 modules, systems and ships. If you are interested to help the development of the District, this station is a great way to do so.    

Constellation development

As of yesterday the office of Fourth Infrastructure investment Ltd. Announced that the constellation of Q-6GL1, more known as The Fourth District. Now support the full reign of alliance planatary development. Wich has been a ongoing plan over the last year. All planatary custom offices is now under alliance control and can support The Districts citizens and consumers with its low taxes.
