Therefore, in 2011, the province agreed to let the District People's Committee submit to the Government the project to establish the Town. However, due to the lack of some conditions and criteria, the Government has not approved it; at the same time, the position and role of Con Cuong were re-determined, on that basis, the People's Committee of Nghe An province and Con Cuong district were assigned to continue building infrastructure to complete the project to build Con Cuong Town in the direction of ecological urban areas.

Commenting on the Project, representatives of departments and branches agreed with the proposal and aspirations of the Party Committee and people of Con Cuong district, but also suggested that based on the criteria of ecological urban areas, Con Cuong should highlight its strengths. Although there are no regulations on criteria of ecological urban areas, the district must define the pillars; clearly analyze the structure of investment resources because the Town needs a lot of resources because of its low infrastructure, but the internal strength of the district economy is still weak...
