Kecamatan Wonoasih memang ada di wilayah selatan dan banyak yang bisa dikembangkan.

Menurut wali kota, apabila perkembangan perekonomian di wilayah utara saja yang jadi prioritas tanpa menyentuh wilayah selatan, itu artinya perekonomian di kota tidak merata. Untuk itu, apa yang bisa dikembangkan atau dimunculkan pemerintah harus mendapat support warganya. “Mudah-mudahan apa yang sudah dirintis bisa berkembang sesuai harapan,” tutur Habib Hadi.
Pada kesempatan itu, Habib Hadi mengimbau masyarakat waspada terhadap cuaca ekstrem yang terjadi akhir-akhir ini. Ia juga mewanti-wanti masyarakat yang memasang lampu jalan agar dicek jangan sampai nyetrum karena kena air hujan sehingga menimbulkan korban.
