Large, key investment projects play a very important role as a driving force for socio-economic growth. Therefore, focusing on effective, quality implementation and ensuring progress for these projects is first of all the task of Party committees and authorities at all levels and the responsibility of related units and enterprises.

Present at the construction site of Sub-project 1 - Ma River overpass (Xuan Quang bridge, Thieu Quang commune, Thieu Hoa district), right in the first days of the new year of Giap Thin, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Do Minh Tuan emphasized: The road connecting National Highway 1 with National Highway 45 (section from Hoang Xuan commune, Hoang Hoa district to Thieu Long commune, Thieu Hoa district), with a total length of 14.6km with 3 sub-projects, is identified as a key project, playing a very important role in the socio-economic development of Thanh Hoa province. Therefore, along with grasping the situation and urging and encouraging the working spirit of contractors and workers at the construction site, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also assigned tasks to the investor and contractor to urgently deploy the construction phases, ensuring progress, safety, quality and aesthetics for the project. At the same time, Thieu Hoa and Hoang Hoa districts need to be more determined and responsible, striving to complete the two sub-projects before April 30, 2024.
It can be said that the determination and drastic leadership, direction and management of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial People's Committee to effectively implement tasks and innovative and breakthrough solutions is one of the prerequisites to accelerate the progress of key projects and works. Therefore, since the beginning of 2024, the Provincial People's Committee has established 5 working groups to direct the promotion of public investment disbursement and the implementation of 3 national target programs and the Socio-economic Recovery and Development Program. The close supervision to promptly urge and remove difficulties and obstacles for major projects and key works by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial People's Committee in recent times has brought about many positive results.
Currently, the province is implementing 71 major, key investment projects. Specific results: For 13 projects (granting investment policy approval decisions, investment registration certificates, signing investment memorandums of understanding at the Thanh Hoa Provincial Investment Promotion Conference in 2020), 9 projects were granted investment policy approval decisions, investment registration certificates (of which, the Sea Square project, Sam Son City festival landscape axis has been basically completed; 4 projects are being implemented; 4 projects are completing documents and procedures for investment preparation). There are 4 projects signing investment memorandums of understanding (1 project is being implemented; 3 projects are completing investment documents and procedures according to regulations). In addition, 12 projects in Nghi Son Economic Zone and industrial parks, currently 6 projects are being implemented; 6 projects are completing documents and procedures for investment preparation according to regulations. Of the remaining 46 projects, 1 project has been basically completed (Thanh Hoa Industrial College); 22 projects are being implemented; 23 projects are completing documents and procedures to prepare for investment.
To achieve that result, with the leadership, direction and close supervision of the Provincial Party Standing Committee and the Provincial People's Committee; Thanh Hoa province has organized conferences to listen to reports on the implementation of site clearance; to resolve the shortage of construction materials in the province, especially for large and key investment projects in the transport sector... At the same time, work directly with investors/investors or assign relevant provincial departments, branches and sectors to resolve difficulties and problems for projects according to regulations for many important projects (such as the Ben En Eco-tourism Resort Complex combined with high-class entertainment services and Xuan Lai High-class Resort Urban Area Project; Nghi Son LNG Power Plant; Duc Giang - Nghi Son Chemical Production Complex...).
In particular, the Provincial People's Committee has directed relevant units to review, advise, propose and recommend to competent authorities to amend and supplement legal provisions related to investment projects but are not suitable to the actual situation, affecting the progress of project implementation. At the same time, assign targets and request the District People's Committee to organize the signing of commitments on site clearance progress with investors of each project; shorten the time to process documents and procedures for project investment and construction...
Remove difficulties to speed up progress
Despite achieving some positive results, the implementation of major, key projects is still revealing some difficulties and obstacles. Accordingly, 34/71 projects are facing difficulties due to the slow preparation, approval and adjustment of urban master plans and functional zoning plans in localities, affecting the progress of completing project investment dossiers and procedures. Cultural projects are subject to many legal documents related to investment, construction, bidding and cultural heritage, leading to a prolonged time for investment preparation procedures. The preparation of investment procedures for some projects has not received due attention from investors and lacks initiative and flexibility in implementation.
In addition, many projects under implementation are stuck with land issues (24/34 projects). Projects using foreign capital (ODA) have a multi-step implementation process, take a lot of time, and depend on foreign sponsors; some projects have to carry out documents and procedures to adjust investment policies and investment projects due to increased land clearance costs, which affects the implementation progress. In addition, the responsibility of some investors is not high, there is a lack of determination in urging and directing; financial capacity is limited. The work of monitoring, urging, coordinating, supervising, and inspecting the management, use of land, and project investment of related units, although implemented, is not regular or continuous...
To resolve the above difficulties and obstacles in order to accelerate the implementation of major and key projects in the province, the first thing is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of state management of investment projects, especially direct investment projects of enterprises. The implementation of projects on schedule, effectively and ensuring quality, has a very important role and responsibility of investors, units, contractors and enterprises. Therefore, in addition to monitoring, urging and effectively supporting investors, it is also necessary to resolutely propose to competent authorities to withdraw projects that have been delayed for a long time, and reserve land for investors with real capacity to implement the project.
Along with that, focus on effectively implementing the site clearance plan to implement land use projects in the province in 2024. Localities, especially leaders of Party committees and authorities, need to identify this as an important task to resolutely direct; at the same time, strictly implement the signing of site handover progress commitments with investors. In particular, it is necessary to clarify the causes of delays in each stage, each task, each phase of project implementation, especially public investment projects, to find solutions.
In addition, leaders of Party committees, authorities, agencies and units need to strengthen inspection and supervision of the site, urge contractors to concentrate human resources, materials, equipment, and add more construction teams to perform their tasks. At the same time, review the provisions of the law on investment and construction that are still inadequate, in order to promptly propose to competent authorities to amend and supplement, in order to clear the "bottlenecks" in the disbursement of public investment capital, creating a basis to accelerate the implementation of large and key projects in the province.
