However, the current requirement to build Thai Hoa town into a central urban area of ​​the Northwest region of Nghe An, creating a driving force to promote socio-economic development in the western region of Nghe An province requires a huge amount of resources for infrastructure investment and urban embellishment.

The purpose of the Resolution is to build and develop Thai Hoa town into a central urban area of ​​the Northwest Nghe An and Nam Thanh - Bac Nghe regions, meeting the standards of a type III urban area by 2025, which is an important premise for becoming a city under the province before 2030.
