On August 9, the People's Committee of Gia Lai province requested functional agencies, communes and wards to resolutely remove bottlenecks in site clearance to speed up the progress of projects in the western area.
The Nguyen Van Linh road and residential area project (in the center of Pleiku urban area) has a scale of nearly 40 hectares, with a total investment of more than 2,100 billion VND.
Since the beginning of 2024, the Nguyen Van Linh road project has been stalled and not reached progress because some households have not agreed with the compensation price for site clearance, thinking that the compensation price of the State is much lower than the market price.
The Eastern Economic Corridor Project has a total investment of VND1,325 billion, of which VND900 billion is from the central budget, the remaining VND425 billion is from the provincial budget.
This is a key infrastructure project of inter-regional connectivity, supported by the Central Government for Gia Lai province to implement in the period of 2021 - 2025.
Currently, the People's Committee of Bien Ho commune has not yet cleared about 0.5km of the site, has not handed over and has not completed the relocation of technical infrastructure.
The project is 15.14km long, contributing to expanding development space for Gia Lai, connecting localities, serving people's livelihood and tourism. Of the total investment, nearly 900 billion VND is spent on construction and installation.
Faced with the risk of being behind schedule, even having to return capital, the People's Committee of Gia Lai province directed the Department of Finance to balance resources and allocate funds to soon complete compensation and site clearance.
The Department of Agriculture and Environment is assigned to specifically work with the People's Committee of Bien Ho commune to guide the final settlement of problems related to assets on land of 3 households, which must be completed by August 10, 2025.
The province also assigned the Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board to complete the disbursement of 100% of the assigned public investment capital plan for 2025; at the same time, speed up the construction progress of key projects and works.
The province's guiding viewpoint is: "No avoidance, no delay, no shirking responsibility", aiming to bring projects with large investment capital to the finish line, creating momentum for socio-economic development, meeting growth requirements.
