Parsing a sentence with の and に missing(?)

I saw this tweet earlier today. I find it difficult to understand the
underlined portion. This is the first time I saw 目指すよう without に or な
following it. The same goes with 近く. It looks like an adverb, but I'm sure
it's not modifying 要請する. Is it 近くの with の omitted? This is not a newspaper
headline, but what's with the omission of に and の?




You can replace ように with よう in some situations:

  * When it describe a purpose ("so that ～") 

> 字幕なしで映画が見えるように勉強します。  
>  字幕なしで映画が見えるよう勉強します。  
>  I will study so that I can watch movies without subtitles.

  * When it expresses a wish ("I wish ～", "May ～") 

> 神のご加護がありますように。  
>  神のご加護がありますよう。  
>  May the God bless you.

  * When it describes the content of 頼む, 命令する, 要求する, 言う, etc. 

> 来るように言って。  
>  来るよう言って。  
>  Tell him to come.

There is almost no difference, but I feel よう is slightly more literary. (I'm
not sure if "formal" is the correct word here. ように is safe in the most formal
settings.)

You cannot drop に when it means "similarly to ～", "as ～" or "like ～".

  * 鳥のように飛んだ。 It flew like a bird.
  * 彼のように美しい人はいない。 No one is as beautiful as him.
  * ご存じのようにこちらは冬です。 As you know, it's winter here.

* * *

This 近く is an adverb on its own (my dictionary says so). 近くの経済界 would mean
"nearby world of economics", which makes little sense. 多く also has a special
adverbial usage ("often", "mainly").
