In fact, the Hoang Mai 2 Cement Project was previously proposed by the investor to build the main factory in Hoang Mai 2 Industrial Park. However, the project later encountered some problems and was requested to be moved out of the industrial park. Up to now, after receiving consensus from relevant sectors and units, the investor continues to propose to implement the project right in Hoang Mai 2 Industrial Park (Quynh Vinh commune, Hoang Mai town).

Apply new technology, limit environmental pollution

After listening to the leader of Vicem Hoang Mai Cement Joint Stock Company report on the project implementation process as well as comments from relevant departments and branches, and giving a speech directing the meeting, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Thai Thanh Quy agreed in principle: allowing Vicem Hoang Mai Cement Joint Stock Company to invest in building the main factory in Hoang Mai 2 Industrial Park.

The requirement is that the construction process as well as the operation of the factory must ensure environmental protection and occupational safety; The area where cement materials are exploited must have a solution to restore the site and ensure the requirements of environmental impact assessment. To do so, the prerequisite is that the project must invest in and apply new, modern and advanced technology.

Comrade Thai Thanh Quy also agreed to assign the Management Board of the Southeast Economic Zone to take the lead in advising on investment policies. In addition, to reduce investment costs and limit environmental pollution, he proposed that the Management Board of the Southeast Economic Zone play a key role in helping Tan Thang Cement Factory and Hoang Mai 2 Cement Factory build connecting conveyor belts to transport materials and products to Dong Hoi port.
