After 5 years, the whole commune has mobilized a total investment fund for the construction of new rural areas of 74 billion VND, of which the people contributed nearly 30%.

The infrastructure system is invested synchronously, meeting the needs of production and life. 14/14 villages have spacious and standard cultural houses; Linh Son market project has been invested with more than 6 billion VND. The commune has developed 2 commercial markets, Truong Market (Hamlet 3) and Gay Market (Hamlet 8), attracting over 200 households to develop business and trade. Thanks to the right economic restructuring, the average income per capita of Linh Son people has increased annually, reaching over 30 million VND/person. The poverty rate is 3.2%, the rate of employed workers in working age is over 92%.
