Lawmakers emphasize that these areas should transition from simple factory clusters into comprehensive economic ecosystems that integrate infrastructure, labor, and local small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Key proposals include prioritizing local labor through mandatory hiring and vocational training to bridge competency gaps.
