With the promotion of investment in implementing projects in the coming time, the conversion of land use purposes and land recovery is extremely necessary. Along with the Resolution on piloting a number of specific mechanisms and policies for the development of Nghe An province, which took effect from January 1, 2022, it has opened a big door for Nghe An to accelerate the conversion of land use purposes to serve the construction and infrastructure development work, welcoming investors.

NEW DYNAMICS FOR LOCALITIES

In Dien Chau, in addition to the projects being submitted to competent authorities for consideration to change land use purposes and reclaim land for investment purposes, this locality has also developed a land use plan for the period 2021-2030, in which there are 34 projects taking over forest land alone, with a total area of ​​1,542.56 hectares.

Among them are many projects with large total land area that needs to be converted such as: Planning of eco-tourism areasXuan Duong Lakewith 325 hectares; an urban area combined with eco-tourism and resort in Dien Trung commune with 300 hectares; or the Muong Thanh eco-tourism expansion project with 145 hectares... For projects with large areas of land use conversion, if they have to be implemented according to Article 58 of the current Land Law, they must have written approval from the Prime Minister, which will take a lot of time. Many opportunities to attract investors may even slip through the fingers.

According to Mr. Nguyen Duc Tho - Vice Chairman of Nghi Loc District People's Committee, for localities with the need to convert land and reclaim large areas of land for investment projects, it is clear that the Resolution on piloting a number of specific mechanisms and policies for Nghe An development has a great impact, helping the province as well as districts to be more proactive in implementing the process of converting land use purposes.

However, Mr. Tho also said that because this Resolution is in the pilot period, the districts and sectors themselves need to be well prepared and proactive in developing plans and procedures so that when the Resolution comes into effect, it can be implemented immediately. "We must prove to the National Assembly that we made the right choice in allowing Nghe An to pilot a number of specific mechanisms and policies, thereby continuing to implement this policy in the long term," Mr. Tho emphasized.
