Nghi Loc: Positive changes from investment attraction
(Baonghean.vn) - Many key projects in the area have gradually boosted the socio-economic development of Nghi Loc district.
Motivation from key projects
The first and most prominent mark of the overall socio-economic picture of Nghi Loc district in 2017 is that a series of key infrastructure projects of the province in the district were put into use. After a period of urgent construction, the 29 km long N5 road project, connecting Hoa Son (Do Luong) via National Highway 1A to Nghi Thiet deep-water port (Nghi Loc) was completed. Putting this project into use not only narrows the gap between the western and eastern communes of Nghi Loc district, but also acts as a driving force for economic connection of the western region of the province, with the starting point being Do Luong closer to the Southeast Economic Zone. This is the joy and achievement of not only Nghi Loc but also of the whole Nghe An province.

In recent years, to serve the province's large projects, many areas of land in Nghi Loc district have been reclaimed, so the pressure on job creation for the district's people is quite large. After focusing on clearing and handing over the site for the Nghi Thiet Seaport and Cement Grinding Station project, the district is currently actively clearing to hand over the site to Thai investors, making detailed plans on both sides of N5 road to issue a list of calling for investment projects. At the same time, the FLC Group's resort project in Nghi Tien with a scale of over 10,500 billion VND is actively promoting investment, promising to be a project that creates a new highlight for the tourism and service economy of the whole province.
In 2017, Nghi Loc district also put the railway overpass in Quan Hanh town into use, helping to connect Provincial Road 534, Vinh bypass with National Highway 1A and the economic zone in the East of the district more conveniently and safely. In addition, also in the year, the Vissai Cement Grinding Station complex and 2 bridges of Nghi Thiet International Seaport for ships of over 70,000 tons to dock were put into operation, promising to bring revenue to the budget and develop logistics services, creating jobs and income for workers in the area.
Continue to attract investment and sustainable development
Nghi Loc is considered the district facing the most difficulties in site clearance for a number of objective reasons; one of which is that there are many large land acquisition projects, affecting many households. Therefore, on the basis of properly implementing the general provisions of the law, the district mobilizes the entire political system to participate and implement fully and seriously; on the other hand, taking advantage of the support and assistance of the province and investors and contacting and listening to the people's legitimate recommendations to carry out site clearance for project works.

According to Mr. Nguyen Thanh Hai - Vice Chairman of the District People's Committee, with that approach, in recent years, Nghi Loc has not only handed over land clearance on time for major projects of the province, but also has attractive land areas, attracting more investors to the area.
In 2017, after basically completing the clearance of the N5 intersection and handing over the Cement Grinding Station site to The Vissai Cement Group and the seaport in Nghi Thiet, the district is actively clearing the site for the Hemaraj Industrial Park in Nghi Thuan and Nghi Long communes and continuing to promote the preparation of land acquisition procedures for a number of other large projects.
Up to now, Nghi Loc is one of the districts with the largest number of investment projects in the province with 60 projects, registered capital of 2,187 billion VND, of which 2017 was 542 billion VND. 21 other projects are in the process of submitting to the Provincial People's Committee for approval of investment policy.
Nghi Loc focuses on improving the environment, actively creating conditions to attract more investment projects to the area to promote local socio-economic development and create more jobs for workers. Mr. Nguyen Tien Dung - Chairman of Nghi Loc District People's Committee shared more: Hopefully, with these investment projects, it will create momentum for the district's socio-economic development to change positively and sustainably. That, in addition to contributing to the completion of the targets set by the District Party Congress in the period of 2015 - 2020, also lays a solid foundation for the following years.
