Japanese: 秋田湾地区開発計画 - あきたわんちくかいはつけいかく

...In the 1930s, the national government's policy to promote the development of the Tohoku region led to the development of modern industries such as pulp (Araya) and chemical fertilizers (Barajima), and the development of the Yabase oil field contributed to the oil refining and petrochemical industries (Tsuchizaki). In 1965, along with the designation of Akita as a new industrial city, the Akita Bay Area Development Plan was drawn up, and a smelter (Iijima), paper and plywood factories (Mukaihama) were attracted to the area, centering on the major renovation of Akita Port and the construction of a thermal power plant, but with the end of the high-growth period, this plan was significantly revised. Recently, based on the Akita Technopolis concept, the electrical equipment and precision equipment industries have developed rapidly, and the city's manufacturing shipment value accounts for about 20% of the prefecture's (1995). ...
