Indonesia's Lido SEZ and Trump-linked golf clubhouse resume construction after months of uncertainty
Indonesian authorities had earlier halted work citing environmental concerns.
Indonesia's Lido Special Economic Zone (SEZ), located in West Java, is set to resume construction after a year-long pause due to environmental concerns. The Lido SEZ, spanning 1,040 hectares, was intended to be a resort and entertainment hub near Jakarta. The suspension of construction activities came after Indonesia's environment ministry cited issues with water management and sedimentation at Lido Lake, which is within the SEZ.
However, the government has since lifted its suspension order, reportedly after the responsible parties fulfilled the required conditions. Construction is now underway, including the Trump golf clubhouse, which is the largest in the complex. The Lido SEZ currently houses an 18-hole golf course, a five-star hotel, and a wellness center.
The area's strategic location near Jakarta and the recent expansion of a highway connecting it to the capital have boosted its potential for success.
