Several international firms have expressed interest in investing in the EEC, which spans 30,000 rai in Chon Buri, Rayong and Chachoengsao provinces. The government hopes the EEC will trigger an investment spree to bolster the country's economic growth and sustain that expansion. Mr Kanit also aims to complete the terms of reference and the bidding process for constructing U-tapao airport within one year. The government is set to invest heavily in developing infrastructure projects for better connection between Bangkok and the three provinces.
