Regarding development, Mulyadi pointed to infrastructure projects already completed in Cianjur, such as road construction in the Cikadu area, as examples of the provincial government's contribution. He also expressed a focus on managing the Puncak area, similar to efforts in the Cianter region of Subang Regency. Plans are being considered for the relocation of street vendors to prevent overcrowding and maintain the area's appeal.
Mulyadi further advised the Cianjur Regency Government to expedite the finalization of its spatial planning. He described Cianjur as an exotic region with diverse natural resources, including mountains, seas, lakes, superior agricultural products, and industrial areas, alongside unique culinary offerings. "Cianjur has mountains, sea trenches, lakes, superior agricultural products, industrial areas, and food. Not all regions have completeness like Cianjur. It just needs to be managed, branded, and rebranded," he said. He also encouraged residents to maintain cleanliness, which he identified as key to progress.
