Focus on completing infrastructure of industrial parks

Improving the quality of infrastructure of industrial parks (IPs) is identified by the Provincial Industrial Parks Management Board as one of the important solutions, the basis for attracting secondary investors. In the province, there are 8 IPs with a total planning area of over 1,507 hectares; of which 2 IPs have been invested in synchronous technical infrastructure; some IPs have a fairly high occupancy rate, such as: Luong Son IP reaching 100%; Bo Trai Song Da IP 91.53%; Nam Luong Son IP 60.08%...

The project of connecting National Highway 6 to Nhuan Trach Industrial Park (Luong Son) is being urgently constructed.

Implementing Plan No. 226/KH-UBND, dated December 2, 2021 of the Provincial People's Committee on completing the basic, synchronous and modern socio-economic infrastructure, the Provincial Industrial Park Management Board sets out the key task of implementing investment in a number of essential projects, including: roads to industrial parks, service roads, roads connecting industrial parks, centralized wastewater treatment plants of 4 industrial parks: Phu Binh, Lac Thinh, Yen Quang and Bo Trai Song Da. At the same time, the Board has deployed the planning of 5 industrial parks, urging the rapid implementation of procedures on construction, environment and site clearance. In 2023, the total investment capital for infrastructure of industrial parks in the province is more than 700 billion VND, of which the central budget supports 75 billion VND; the provincial budget is more than 33 billion VND and the capital of the investor in the infrastructure of industrial parks is about 600 billion VND.

According to the leader of the Provincial Industrial Park Management Board, up to this point, for projects with State budget capital, over 50% of the capital plan assigned in 2023 and nearly 40% of the additional capital plan assigned in 2023 have been disbursed. Specifically, the Da River wastewater treatment plant project is preparing for a trial run; the road project to Yen Quang Industrial Park is coordinating to implement site clearance work, speeding up the construction progress of project items according to plan; the Hoa Lac - Hoa Binh expressway connecting project with Yen Quang Industrial Park has now accepted the payment volume of over 50% of the capital plan; the investment project to build the intersection and the road connecting Lac Thinh Industrial Park has been implemented according to plan. The Provincial Industrial Park Management Board also coordinated to plan to add 8 new industrial parks in the districts: Yen Thuy, Luong Son, Lac Son, Da Bac, Tan Lac and Hoa Binh City with a total planning area of nearly 2,238 hectares. At the same time, coordinate with departments and branches to establish and adjust general construction planning, zoning planning, and detailed planning to suit the actual situation.

Currently, the rate of operating industrial parks with centralized wastewater treatment systems meeting environmental standards is 75%; creating clean land to attract investment on over 119 hectares, exceeding the assigned plan by 8.4%.

Along with focusing on infrastructure investment, the Provincial Industrial Park Management Board has focused on improving the business investment environment, promoting administrative reform, and attracting investment. Comrade Chu Van Thang, Director of the Provincial Industrial Park Management Board, said: The Management Board has increased support and created favorable conditions for infrastructure investors, enterprises, and organizations to promote and attract investment in the industrial parks. Every 6 months, the Organizing Board holds meetings or organizes extraordinary meetings with infrastructure investors and enterprises in the industrial parks to promptly resolve difficulties, problems, and recommendations of enterprises.

By the end of October 2023, the Provincial Industrial Park Management Board had attracted 4 new projects with a total registered capital of VND 89.5 billion; adjusted 20 projects, 3 projects increased registered capital of VND 89.92 billion. Up to now, there are 109 investment projects in industrial parks in the province, including 25 foreign direct investment projects, with a total registered capital of 519.33 million USD and 83 domestic investment projects, with a total registered capital of over VND 15,947 billion. Revenue of enterprises in industrial parks reached over VND 22 trillion, export value reached over USD 775 million, paid to the State budget over VND 250 billion and created jobs for over 1,700 workers.

According to Mr. Chu Van Thang, Director of the Provincial Industrial Park Management Board, in the coming time, the Board will continue to improve the quality of industrial park infrastructure, especially construction, site clearance, and administrative procedure settlement. This is considered one of the important solutions, the basis for attracting secondary investors.

Continue to focus on promoting on-site investment through taking care of enterprises that have investment policy decisions and are implementing procedures in the province. In addition, the Provincial Industrial Park Management Board has established groups and working groups to promptly advise and support each project.
