At the meeting, Phu My Dong commune proposed that the province soon approve the Master Plan; allocate capital to upgrade the Deo Nhon - My Tho route (from My Tho intersection to the border with DT639); deploy a resettlement area for natural disasters in My Thang commune (old); invest in upgrading schools, health stations, radio stations; allocate additional civil servant positions to public service units in the commune.
Concluding the meeting, Mr. Pham Anh Tuan acknowledged the commune's efforts in implementing the 2-level government model, and emphasized that Phu My Dong is identified as a "steel fist", the main growth pillar of the province.
He requested the locality to focus on site clearance to serve the development of industrial parks, especially processing and manufacturing industries associated with seaports and logistics.
The commune needs to focus on renovating rural urban areas, raising awareness of environmental protection, towards building a smart, green and friendly urban area, gradually turning rural residential areas into "a beautiful picture".
"Commune leaders must have an open and modern mindset, learn domestic and foreign planning models, take drastic actions to create strong innovation, and develop Phu My Dong", Mr. Tuan directed.
The Chairman of the Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee believes that Phu My Dong will make a breakthrough in the next 5 years, develop on par with the province's advanced localities and gradually rise to the group of developed communes and wards of the whole country.
On the same day, the working group surveyed coastal routes, urban planning points, industrial parks and the planned location for the construction of a new administrative center of the commune.
