“Regarding the basic construction sector, the district requests the Provincial People's Committee to pay attention to investing in newly started projects and allocate new capital for transitional projects. In addition, there are currently 3 projects to pay off debts: building embankments to prevent landslides along the Lam River through Anh Son District (still owing 8.7 billion VND); building the Duc Son - Binh Son traffic road (5.1 billion VND); building a bridge over the Lam River at Cay Chanh (still owing 5.1 billion VND). Request the Provincial People's Committee to consider arranging capital so that the district has a source of payment for the contractor" - Chairman of the People's Committee of Anh Son District proposed.

Regarding this issue, the representative of the Department of Planning and Investment said that the district needs to coordinate with relevant departments to summarize the outstanding projects for reporting and handling. As for newly started projects, because the medium-term investment plan has been approved, the budget source is limited, so it needs to be reviewed.

Regarding Tri Le Industrial Park, Mr. Le Quang Hoa - Deputy Head of the Dong Nam Economic Zone Project Management Board said that there are currently 2 factories invested in the Industrial Park, which are a clean fuel factory and an MDF Factory invested by Nghe An MDF Wood Joint Stock Company on an area of ​​26 hectares with a total investment capital of 1,754 billion VND. The project coming into operation is an opportunity for Anh Son to develop a hill garden economy. However, the Industrial Park has not yet been planned in detail, so it is facing many difficulties in construction implementation. It is recommended that the Provincial People's Committee invest in the road to the factory, and the district soon take action to compensate for land clearance so that the investor can construct the traffic road and related items.

Believing that the district needs to pay attention to the field of spiritual tourism, representatives of the Department of Culture, Sports and the Department of Tourism said that the locality has a system of caves, historical, cultural and revolutionary relics which are favorable conditions for tourism development such as: Dong Truong relic site (Hoi Son), Kim Nhan relic cluster, Yen Phuc communal house (Phuc Son), Cua Luy temple (Hoa Son), Yen Xuan temple (Linh Son) and especially the Vietnam-Laos Friendship cemetery with an area of ​​6.8 hectares, which is the resting place of nearly 11,000 martyrs. This is a very good condition for the district to develop the economy associated with tourism and spiritual culture. District leaders need to pay attention to investing and promoting efficiency.
