Düzce Mayor Faruk Özlü has initiated several local development projects focused on tourism and urban infrastructure. Initially, the Mayor and Çilimli Mayor Yılmaz Yıldız inspected the Yeni Vakıf Göleti area to discuss a joint project aimed at transforming the reservoir into a multi-purpose tourism destination. This plan includes the development of bungalows, picnic areas, restaurants, and facilities for water and mountain sports.

Following these discussions, Mayor Özlü has also been coordinating city-wide infrastructure and asphalt works. During inspections of new road surfaces, the Mayor utilized a domestic electric vehicle, TOGG, to test the quality of the work. He noted that Düzce has seen significant growth in tourism and local services, resulting in improved development rankings from the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change.
