At the beginning of June, on many construction sites in industrial zones and clusters in Lao Cai, the construction atmosphere was urgent.
From the Ban Qua border area to Gia Phu or the South, a series of projects are being accelerated to soon create clean land funds and welcome new investment capital flows.
This is considered one of the important solutions for Lao Cai to expand its industrial development space, improve production capacity and create more jobs for workers.
According to records, at the ground leveling and technical infrastructure project of Ban Qua Industrial Park, many areas have been leveled, creating ground for infrastructure construction.
The sound of excavators and bulldozers continuously echoes. Vehicles transporting soil and rocks are operating bustlingly at the construction site. The construction unit, Truong Son Construction Corporation, is mobilizing manpower and machinery to take advantage of favorable weather before the rainy season.
The project has a total investment of more than 500 billion VND from the State budget, with a scale of about 75ha, implemented in the period 2025 - 2026. The project includes ground leveling, transportation, electricity supply, water supply and drainage and many other synchronous technical infrastructure items.
According to the Lao Cai Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board, the project is designed to ensure technical standards, in accordance with the approved plan. When completed, the project will create an additional industrial land fund to serve the production development needs of the locality.
Notably, this industrial park will be the place to receive 34 production facilities transferred from Dong Pho Moi Industrial Park, contributing to the site clearance of the Lao Cai - Hanoi - Hai Phong railway project.
Not only Ban Qua, another large-scale industrial project, Thong Nhat 1 Industrial Cluster, is also being implemented in Gia Phu commune.
The project has an area of nearly 75ha, with a total investment of more than 860 billion VND, and is planned to attract agricultural, forestry, food, and pharmaceutical processing industries; wood and furniture production; mechanics, electronics, refrigeration, garment and supporting industries.
According to the plan, the investor and related units are completing procedures on planning, environment, and land. It is expected that from the first quarter of 2027, the industrial cluster will go into operation.
In addition, Tran Yen Industrial Park phase I is also being focused on implementation by the locality.
The project was approved for investment policy from the end of 2024, with a total scale of nearly 255ha, an investment level of over 2,184 billion VND, of which phase I is implemented on an area of over 54ha.
When put into operation, the industrial park will create jobs for tens of thousands of workers and contribute about 1,500 billion VND to the budget each year.
On June 10, in an exchange with reporters, Mr. Tran Viet Quy - Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Council of Au Lau ward - said: "Tran Yen Industrial Park is a project of great significance for the socio-economic development of the locality. Therefore, in addition to ensuring progress, we also pay special attention to stabilizing the lives of affected people.
When these projects are completed and put into operation, they will not only expand industrial space but also create more growth momentum, jobs and revenue for the locality in the coming years.
