The entire industrial park has an area of 244.74 hectares, with a total capital of over VND2,590 billion. Of which, the existing projects have been leased land by the Provincial People's Committee to 6 secondary investors before, the area to be cleared is nearly 160 hectares.

Up to now, the project has compensated 618 households/77.58ha with the amount of 863 billion VND, reaching 55.84% of the area (the remaining amount is over 75 billion VND, the reason for the remaining amount is according to the company's opinion and currently, the locality is continuing to make payments according to the plan for areas B3, B4, and the access road).

Currently, the project has nearly 300 households registered to receive money with a total amount of over 350 billion VND, of which, there are 77 cases (outside areas B3, B4, access road) with an amount of over 93.23 billion VND with very difficult circumstances. The locality has worked with and requested the investor to transfer funds to pay compensation, but the money has not yet been transferred to pay compensation to the people, leading to slow progress in compensation and site clearance of the project, causing frustration.

In addition, the investor has committed to take responsibility for the late payment fee as prescribed in Clause 2, Article 93 of the 2013 Land Law. However, currently, the company has not transferred the additional payment fee to the people as prescribed./.
