Creating a new architectural and landscape highlight in Quynh Thuan.

In line with the new rural planning

Previously, to facilitate the purchase of salt from salt farmers, Nghe An Salt and Trade Joint Stock Company established many purchasing points, salt storage facilities, and offices in several localities. However, for a long time, salt purchasing faced difficulties, and these points had to close down.

Mr. Ho Le Duc, Director of Nghe An Salt and Trade Joint Stock Company, said: "Since its establishment, the company has had storage facilities and office buildings scattered throughout the coastal districts. Previously, salt purchasing at the company's locations was bustling, contributing to supporting the development of salt production for people in coastal areas. However, around 2000, the company could not compete with the salt collection methods of private traders, and the salt purchasing situation became difficult, so the company's purchasing facilities in various localities gradually ceased operations. The company's purchasing locations, salt warehouses, and representative offices in various localities were also forced to close."

Currently, to avoid wasting or abandoning these land areas, Nghe An Salt and Trade Joint Stock Company is coordinating with relevant agencies and localities to carry out procedures for handing over and converting these land areas in accordance with the law.

In Quynh Thuan commune (Quynh Luu district), the land formerly occupied by the company's office (for which the Provincial People's Committee granted a land use right certificate in 2014, covering an area of ​​6,802 m2) is now severely damaged and unusable. Given this situation, Nghe An Salt and Trade Joint Stock Company has submitted an application to convert the land from "production and business land" to "infrastructure and subdivision for residential land."

After receiving the application, the Department of Planning and Investment also issued Document No. 2428, dated August 8, 2018, to relevant departments and agencies and the People's Committee of Quynh Luu district "Regarding giving opinions on the investment plan for infrastructure and land subdivision projects in Quynh Thuan commune, Quynh Luu district". In Document No. 29/UBND-ĐT of the People's Committee of Quynh Thuan Commune, "Regarding giving opinions on the investment policy for the project: Infrastructure for subdividing residential land in Quynh Thuan Commune," signed by the Chairman of the People's Committee of Quynh Thuan Commune, Tran Quoc Tuan, on September 13, 2018, it is recommended: "The request by Nghe An Salt and Trade Joint Stock Company to convert from "production and business land" to "infrastructure and subdivision of residential land" is consistent with the adjusted general planning of Quynh Luu District, which was approved by the Provincial People's Committee in Decision No. 378/QD-UBND dated June 18, 2018. The People's Committee of Quynh Thuan Commune agrees and respectfully requests the People's Committee of Quynh Luu District to submit to the Provincial People's Committee for consideration and permission to change the land use purpose in accordance with the law."

On November 15, 2018, the People's Committee of Quynh Luu District also issued Document No. 222/UBND-TNMT, responding to Document No. 2428 from the Department of Planning and Investment, stating: “After reviewing the project dossier, conducting a field survey in Quynh Thuan commune; considering the opinion of the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee in Notice No. 1201; and the opinion of the People's Committee of Quynh Thuan commune in Document No. 29, the People's Committee of Quynh Luu District assesses: The project is consistent with the new rural planning of Quynh Thuan commune; Regarding land use planning: The land area for the project is consistent with the adjusted land use planning scheme until 2020 and the land use plan for the first year of the adjusted planning of Quynh Luu district, which was approved by the People's Committee of the district in Decision No. 387, dated June 18, 2018, with the purpose of use being rural residential land...

Mr. Nguyen Van Loi, a land management official in Quynh Thuan commune, said that during some meetings with voters, some residents raised concerns about the land owned by Nghe An Salt and Trade Joint Stock Company. The residents mainly requested three things: the company must dismantle the broadcasting antenna (which the company allowed a telecommunications company to install on its land); the company must allocate a portion of its land to expand the kindergarten grounds; and the company must not continue to leave its office land vacant and wasted.

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Loi, regarding the three issues mentioned above, Nghe An Salt and Trade Joint Stock Company has dismantled the antenna tower and agreed to cede approximately 500 square meters of land to expand the kindergarten grounds. Therefore, the people's concern now is that Nghe An Salt and Trade Joint Stock Company will not waste this land, and if the land is to be repurposed, it must be done in accordance with the law.

Mr. Tran Ngoc Binh, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Quynh Thuan commune, said: Quynh Thuan commune achieved the new rural standard in 2015, so currently all public welfare facilities in the commune have been built to a high standard, and the school and commune health station have met level 2 standards. Therefore, land allocated for public welfare facilities has been fully planned and developed. Currently, the commune intends to expand the kindergarten campus (adjacent to the salt company's land), and this matter has been agreed upon by Nghe An Salt and Trade Joint Stock Company. The commune has also submitted written requests to higher authorities to approve the conversion of this land to avoid waste and create a beautiful and uniform landscape in the commune center.
Speaking to reporters about this project, Mr. Nguyen Van Quy, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Quynh Luu District, said: "This project has been unanimously approved by the District Party Committee and the People's Committee of Quynh Luu District. If implemented, this project will create a highlight and a new face for Quynh Thuan commune. After planning and construction, it will become a residential area with recreational facilities, transforming it into a small urban center in Quynh Thuan. It will help to use land more efficiently and effectively; and increase revenue for the budget to invest in infrastructure development, serving the lives of the people."

According to Mr. Quy, the Nghe An Salt and Trade Joint Stock Company has fully addressed several requests from the people, such as: relocating the telecommunications pole as requested by the commune and the people; agreeing to allocate 500 square meters for the commune to expand the kindergarten; and, if approved for investment, the company will support the construction of a 500-meter road leading to the kindergarten. If this project is implemented, it will bring about significant socio-economic benefits and community advantages, so both the district and the commune agree. Of course, during the implementation process, the Nghe An Salt and Trade Joint Stock Company must comply with all legal procedures.

In fact, given the development potential of Quynh Thuan commune, the successful implementation of the infrastructure construction and land subdivision project for residential areas in Quynh Thuan commune will create a concentrated residential area, serving not only the needs of the people in the project area but also the surrounding areas, creating a new architectural and landscape appearance for the area, and laying the groundwork for the development of service and trade sectors in this new coastal rural commune.
