Liên quan đến 3 mũi đột phá của thị xã trong nhiệm kỳ mới, Chủ tịch UBND tỉnh đề nghị đột phá đầu tiên phải là công tác cải cách hành chính, vì theo đánh giá thị xã mới chỉ xếp thứ 14/21 huyện, thành, thị về công tác này.

Về vấn đề cực tăng trưởng, Phó Bí thư Tỉnh ủy Nguyễn Văn Thông cho rằng, nội hàm của khái niệm này là phải đảm bảo được 2 yếu tố “tích tụ, tập trung” và “lan tỏa”. Vì vậy, giải pháp cho đường hướng của thị xã nên xem xét để đảm bảo được yếu tố này.

Đồng chí Nguyễn Văn Thông cũng chia sẻ với Cửa Lò là việc mở rộng không gian hành chính đang gặp khó khăn, trong khi không gian kinh tế lại phụ thuộc nhiều vào không gian hành chính.
