"Shape" and scale of Cua Lo coastal urban area if 7 communes from Nghi Loc are merged

According to the Project that is being submitted for approval, there will be 7 communes of Nghi Loc district merged into Cua Lo, namely: Nghi Khanh, Nghi Hop, Nghi Thach, Nghi Phong, Nghi Xuan, Phuc Tho and Nghi Thai commune.

At that time, the natural land area of ​​the town increased from 27.81 km2 to 74.45 km2 and the population increased from 58,000 people to over 105,000 people.

In the South, Cua Lo town will embrace the entire tourist route along Lam river and a part of the mangrove forest landscape belonging to the current communes of Phuc Tho and Nghi Thai of Nghi Loc; at the same time, Cua Lo's boundary will be extended to be adjacent to Vinh city.

In the North, the national relic Nguyen Xi Temple in Nghi Hop commune will also belong to the administrative boundary of Cua Lo.

The above factors are expected to increase the conditions for Cua Lo to complete and spread its connecting role as a key tourist destination of Nghe An, including Nghi Loc district after adjustment...

Some opinions from local levels

* Mr. Nguyen Nam Dinh -Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Town Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Council of Cua Lo town:

"Expanding administrative boundaries helps urban authorities easily solve macro-level problems such as expanding development axes to the Southwest; developing traditional craft villages, ecological parks, and managing and preserving cultural heritage complexes in their fullest integrity to serve tourism.

Expanding the administrative boundaries will also help Cua Lo town solve many other problems such as waste treatment, land for small-scale industries, and help arrange and distribute urban functional areas reasonably, instead of developing in a compressed manner, which inherently brings many consequences for environmental sanitation, security and order, and climate change. At the same time, this expansion will create favorable conditions for building a national defense and security posture, ensuring the town's more sustainable and synchronous development.

* Mr. Dang Van Phuong - Chairman of People's Committee of Nghi Thai Commune, Nghi Loc

"The local government's view is to comply with the state and provincial plans.

In the near future, the commune hopes that the Steering Committee for the Project to Expand the Administrative Boundaries of Cua Lo Town will come down to coordinate with the locality to grasp the aspirations of the people and propagate to the people to understand this project. We know that on March 15-16, the commune is expected to hold a meeting to get the opinions of the people.

* Mr. Nguyen Dinh Hai - Chairman of Nghi Phong Commune People's Committee, Nghi Loc

"It is expected that by the end of March, Cua Lo town will coordinate with Nghi Phong commune to assign groups to each hamlet to collect people's opinions on this project. After having all the opinions, they will be gathered and reported to the higher levels. The commune's consistent view is that no matter where the locality is, it must do a good job of state management and improve the quality of life for the people.

I just hope that wherever there is investment in infrastructure to serve people's lives. However, before making any policy, we should consult the people's opinions to have democracy before implementing it."
