Thai Hoa-Lien Son-Lien Hoa IP Construction Accelerated

Despite facing numerous difficulties and challenges in site clearance for investment projects, since the beginning of the year, Lap Thach district has made efforts to carry out many consistent solutions to speed up the progress of investment projects like Thai Hoa-Lien Son-Lien Hoa Industrial Park (Area II, Phase 1), which was expected to be completed as scheduled.

Covering 600 ha of land, Thai Hoa-Lien Son-Lien Hoa Industrial Park was approved to be added to the Vinh Phuc Industrial Park Planning according to Official Dispatch 1581/TTg-KTN of the Prime Minister dated September 3, 2009. Phase 1 was ratified by the Prime Minister in Decision 283/QD-TTg dated February 26, 2021 and established under Decision 264 of Vinh Phuc Provincial People's Committee with a total area of over 145 ha (above 108 ha of industrial land) in Hoa Son town, Lien Son and Lien Hoa communes, Lap Thach district. The VND774-billion project was invested by Amane Investment Joint Stock Company. Of the land, 117 ha needs site clearance. As of July 29, 2024, about 102 ha out of 114 ha of inventoried and counted area was cleared. According to its report, the company is currently building the wastewater treatment plant and leveling the ground with over VND269 billion of investment capital. The investor is constructing technical infrastructure for the resettlement area, reaching 85% of the project value.

Since the beginning of 2024, Lap Thach district has worked with Amane Investment Joint Stock Company, the investor of Thai Hoa-Lien Son-Lien Hoa Industrial Park (Area II - Phase 1) to remove obstacles, speed up the project progress, clear bottlenecks in land compensation and site clearance, and boost local socioeconomic development. The district has directed relevant agencies to work with Amane Investment Joint Stock Company to urgently implement the next steps on compensation for land acquisition and site clearance for infrastructure construction investment for the industrial park to woo potential secondary investors to locate their projects there, thus helping bolster local economic development. Lap Thach requested Amane Investment Joint Stock Company to pay attention to ensuring the interests of people whose land is reclaimed, creating stable jobs for local workers in the area, protecting the environment, and ensuring local social security when it carries out the project.

In addition to difficulties in land acquisition and site clearance, to speed up investment and construction progress, Amane Investment Joint Stock Company is finalizing procedures on land rental pricing, applying for land use licenses and utilizing excess land as common filling materials, allocating capital for resettlement construction. In the coming time, Lap Thach district will continue to inform and mobilize households to cooperate in the land inventory according to regulations. In case there are deliberate delays in land handover, the District People's Committee will execute procedures to enforce compulsory inventories by law.

Thai Hoa-Lien Son-Lien Hoa Industrial Park has an extremely favorable location, adjacent to the road connecting Provincial Road 307 with National Highway 2B. The facility is 46 km from Noi Bai International Airport, 74 km from Hanoi downtown, 24 km from Vinh Yen downtown, 17 km from Hanoi-Lao Cai Expressway, and 190 km from Hai Phong Port. The industrial park will focus on investors of construction materials production, agricultural and food processing, textile and garment production and consumer goods.
