However, the Yuen Long District Council believed the land should be privately developed to boost the local economy. The government eventually divided the land in two, offering part of the site for private development of Yuccie Square.{{Cite news|url=https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/200801/23/P200801230296.htm|title=STH visits Yuen Long and Tuen Mun Districts (with photos)|newspaper=Hong Kong Government|date=23 January 2008|access-date=11 October 2021}}
