Rudy Susmanto Emphasises Focus on Bogor Regency's Development Direction for 2027
The development direction for Bogor Regency in 2027 will focus on strengthening infrastructure, improving basic public services, and developing new economic growth centres in various regions. This was stated by Bogor Regent Rudy Susmanto at the Musyawarah Perencanaan Pembangunan (Musrenbang) forum for the 2027 Regional Medium-Term Development Plan (RKPD) of the Bogor Regency Government (Pemkab).
“Development in Bogor Regency in 2027 will focus on strengthening infrastructure, improving basic public services, and developing new economic growth centres in various regions,” said Rudy.
According to Rudy, the development challenges in Bogor Regency are significant, given that this area has the largest population in Indonesia, approximately 6.19 million people spread across 40 sub-districts, 416 villages, and 19 urban villages. This condition creates evolving dynamics in community needs in Bogor Regency.
Rudy revealed that infrastructure development remains one of the main priorities. In previous years, the local government has allocated more than Rp300 billion for road improvements in the western region of Bogor Regency, such as in Rumpin, Parung Panjang, Gunung Sindur, Sukajaya, and up to Nanggung.
In the future, road development will continue to be expanded, including the construction of access roads in Malasari Village, Nanggung Sub-district, spanning 18 kilometres, road access development in the Cijeruk area, and the development of connecting routes from the Transyogi area to new economic growth centres in the eastern region of Bogor Regency.
“In addition, the local government is also preparing the construction of special mining transport roads in the western region to minimise the impact of mining vehicle activities on the community,” said Rudy.
According to him, not only infrastructure, but the development direction of Bogor Regency also emphasises improving public services. One of them is through the policy of exempting Land and Building Tax (PBB) for communities with tax values below Rp100,000.
Pemkab Bogor is also continuing to strengthen the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) programme by ensuring BPJS Health participation for all residents of Bogor Regency. Currently, the local government covers BPJS contributions for around 6.19 million residents. “For us, the basic rights of the community are health and education. Therefore, the government is present to ensure that all residents have access to health services,” he stated.
In addition to basic service programmes, several strategic projects are projected to drive Bogor Regency’s development in the future. Among them is the construction of a Waste-to-Energy Power Plant (PLTSa) at the Galuga Final Disposal Site, targeted to generate around 50 megawatts of electricity.
“In the regional development sector, the central government has also designated Bogor Regency as the location for an international-scale sports centre in Rancabungur Sub-district, with a land area of around 500 hectares,” said Rudy.
All these development plans, according to Rudy, require support and collaboration from various parties, including the Regional People’s Representative Council (DPRD), village governments, community organisations, and all elements of society.
“Bogor Regency cannot be built by one person, not by one ethnic group, and not by one religion. Bogor must be built together with the spirit of unity in diversity and love for Bogor Regency,” he said.
According to Rudy, the Bogor Regency Government continues to evaluate ongoing development. It also formulates strategic steps so that development can reach all regions.
