Concentrating efforts on site clearance to build a resettlement area in Vung Ang

Vung Ang ward (Ha Tinh) is focusing on removing site clearance obstacles and is ready to implement construction protection measures to speed up the construction of the resettlement area in Truong Son residential group.

Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Phan Thien Dinh inspects the progress of site clearance and construction of the resettlement area in Truong Son residential group (phase 1) on October 6, 2026.

Located in a key position within Vung Ang Economic Zone, Vung Ang ward is concentrating highly on site clearance to serve the implementation of large-scale investment projects, especially those of Vingroup. In particular, speeding up the construction of the resettlement area in Truong Son residential group (phase 1) has been identified as an urgent task, creating a new residential land fund so that residents can soon relocate and stabilize their lives, and handing over the site for the development of Vinhomes Vung Ang Industrial Park.

To date, Vung Ang ward has handed over 75.5 hectares of land to the construction contractor.

The resettlement area in Truong Son residential group (phase 1) has a total recovered area of about 115.2 hectares, affecting 293 households in 6 residential groups: Truong Son, Ky Thinh, Tan Phong, Thuong Phong, Canh Truong and Truong Yen. With a total investment of over VND 355 billion, the project is important for completing resettlement infrastructure, enabling households whose residential land has been recovered for the Vinhomes Vung Ang Industrial Park Infrastructure Construction and Business Project (covering 964.84 hectares) to move to their new homes.

Mr. Nguyen The Anh, Chairman of the Vung Ang Ward People’s Committee, said: “Recognizing the importance of the project, the entire local political system has recently focused on resolutely carrying out site clearance work. To date, the ward has completed the inventory and verification of the origin of land and assets on land for all 293 households; submitted for approval compensation and support plans for 290 households and 1 organization, with a total cost of VND 273.13 billion and an area of 113.26 hectares, accounting for 99% of households and 98.2% of the area to be recovered. The locality has paid compensation and support to 192 households, totaling over VND 194 billion, and handed over 75.5 hectares of land to the construction contractor.”

Wherever land is available, the investor and contractors carry out construction there. Immediately after the first areas were handed over, the Provincial Transport and Urban Infrastructure Project Management Board, the project investor, urged the construction units to mobilize manpower and machinery and accelerate ground leveling and infrastructure construction.

Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh, Site Manager of 456 Joint Stock Company, the project’s construction contractor, said: “Taking advantage of favorable weather, we have mobilized dozens of vehicles and machines along with manpower, working overtime and adding shifts to speed up ground leveling. Following the motto of completing construction wherever land is available, the company has proactively gathered materials and prepared the necessary conditions to carry out works simultaneously as more land is handed over, minimizing interruptions.”

Construction units focus on ground leveling and building infrastructure for the resettlement area on the land that has been handed over.

However, the project is still facing many difficulties as about 100 households have not yet received compensation and support. Notably, many households are located on land managed by the South Ha Tinh Protection Forest Management Board. These areas are not eligible for land compensation; the State only provides partial support for structures and architectural objects on the land in accordance with regulations.

Although the Party committee and authorities of Vung Ang ward have repeatedly carried out communication, persuasion and dialogue, while reviewing and fully implementing compensation and support policies in accordance with regulations, some households have still not agreed and have not handed over their land. This situation not only affects the construction of the resettlement area but also directly affects the implementation progress of Vinhomes Vung Ang Industrial Park. When the resettlement area’s infrastructure is not completed, relocated households cannot move to their new homes, which means the industrial park site cannot be handed over in a synchronous manner.

Leaders of Vung Ang ward actively coordinate with construction units to remove site-related obstacles and speed up the project.

Given the urgent requirements for progress, Vung Ang ward is continuing to step up communication, persuasion and dialogue to build consensus among the people. At the same time, the locality will resolutely handle cases of deliberate non-compliance after the policies have been explained and fully applied in accordance with regulations.

Mr. Nguyen The Anh, Chairman of the Vung Ang Ward People’s Committee, emphasized: “The locality’s goal is to soon hand over 100% of the site to the construction contractor to ensure the project schedule. For households that have been repeatedly persuaded and fully provided with benefits and policies but still do not comply, the Ward People’s Committee will develop plans for enforced land recovery and construction protection in strict accordance with legal procedures and regulations.”

With the determination of the entire political system and the involvement of the investor and contractors, Vung Ang ward is focusing on removing each site-related bottleneck, creating conditions to speed up the construction of the resettlement area. This is not only a requirement to ensure the project schedule but also an important prerequisite to help people soon settle in their new homes and serve the implementation of driving projects in Vung Ang Economic Zone.
