Speed ​​up investment progress in building industrial cluster infrastructure

Departments, branches and localities in the province are implementing many synchronous solutions to accelerate the progress of completing technical infrastructure of industrial clusters. Thereby, creating a driving force to promote comprehensive socio-economic development, contributing to the successful completion of the goals and plans set by the province.

Van Ha Industrial Park (Thieu Hoa) has completed its technical infrastructure and Alivia Company has invested in the project of a factory producing and processing export footwear.

Complete infrastructure and call for investors

Thuong Ninh Industrial Park, Nhu Xuan District has an area of ​​20 hectares, with Minh Nguyen Trading and Service Company Limited as the technical infrastructure investor. At the end of the second quarter of 2022, after completing the documents and land lease procedures, the company focused on implementing construction at the construction site. To date, the unit has completed 100% of the site clearance and leveling; invested in internal road systems, clean water treatment systems, industrial wastewater treatment systems, and power grid systems. At the same time, together with relevant agencies of the district, proactively connected and called for investors to the Industrial Park.

Van Ha town industrial park, Thieu Hoa district has an area of ​​17.64ha, and has completed its technical infrastructure. The industrial park has leased 12.16ha to a secondary investor to implement the export footwear manufacturing factory project.

Mr. Bruce Chen, senior manager of Alivia factory (under Hoa Loi Group) said: “The Group’s investment in Van Ha Industrial Park is very favorable due to the attention and facilitation of the province and local authorities. Currently, the factory has a capacity of 6 million footwear products/year, creating jobs for 1,200 workers. Future production expansion will require up to 10,200 workers.”

On November 4, 2022, Thanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee issued Decision No. 3799/QD-UBND on the establishment of Van Ha Industrial Park No. 2 (Thieu Hoa) with an area of ​​about 23.36 hectares. The total estimated investment is 189 billion VND. The project will be completed and put into use by 2025. Strive to attract investors to fill 100% of the industrial park by the end of 2026.

Mr. Chu Van Toan, Deputy Director of Lam Kinh Construction and Development Investment Company, the investor of Van Ha Industrial Park No. 2's technical infrastructure, said: "For Van Ha Industrial Park No. 2, with the consensus of the people and the government, the site clearance work is on schedule. We commit to completing the technical infrastructure for secondary investors to invest in production and business before March 31, 2025. We propose that all levels and sectors cut down on some procedures such as: document appraisal, land valuation so that the implementation process can take place faster."

Quickly remove obstacles

According to the Department of Industry and Trade, by the end of October 2024, in Thanh Hoa province, there were 44 industrial parks under investment, with a total area of ​​1,557.62 hectares, and a total registered investment capital of VND 10,916.9 billion. There were 2 industrial parks that had completed infrastructure investment and attracted secondary projects; 3 industrial parks that had basically completed infrastructure in phases and attracted secondary investment projects; 22 industrial parks that had completed site clearance for the entire project or in phases, were leased land by the Provincial People's Committee, and were investing in infrastructure; 5 industrial parks that had completed investment procedures and were conducting site clearance compensation; 12 industrial parks that were completing investment procedures and had not yet carried out site clearance.

In general, the progress of implementing industrial park investment projects has many positive changes but is still slow. There are many reasons leading to the above situation, including localities choosing inappropriate locations to build industrial parks, not connecting with space, planning outside industrial parks, coordinating to update planning, including the target of converting rice fields to industrial land. Some investors are not qualified, encounter difficulties in investment capital when implementing, the ability to attract secondary investors is weak, leading to prolonging project implementation time, having to consider revoking many projects...

To solve the above difficulties, Mr. Truong Van Tuyen, Head of the Department of Industrial Management, Department of Industry and Trade said: “Departments, branches, and People's Committees of districts are adjusting construction plans to be consistent with the provincial planning and land use planning to ensure the legal basis for completing investment procedures of established industrial parks; focusing on directing and implementing compensation and site clearance and resettlement. The Provincial People's Committee is determined to revoke and terminate the project validity for industrial parks that have been approved for technical infrastructure investment projects but are behind schedule as required, for which the responsibility lies with the investor or violates the commitment between the investor and the district People's Committee on the progress of investment capital allocation and site clearance”.

In particular, according to Mr. Tuyen, units must pay attention to the compatibility between plans, feasibility in traffic connection, electricity, water supply, treated wastewater discharge locations; specific regulations on the timeline for completing investment procedures, building infrastructure and attracting secondary projects to invest in industrial parks. For the Department of Industry and Trade, every year, early prepare a land use plan to submit to the Provincial People's Committee for approval; early approve the final settlement of site clearance costs to serve as a basis for investors to complete the application for land use right certificates; support investors in the process of completing investment procedures and investing in building industrial park infrastructure; increase support for investors to attract secondary projects to invest in industrial parks.
