ECONOMIC STRUCTURE SHIFT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

After 8 years of implementing Resolution No. 11, Hoang Mai town has closely followed the goals, targets, tasks and solutions of the Resolution, the annual conclusions of the Provincial Party Standing Committee to implement and achieve many important results.

The planning work was focused on leadership, direction and implementation, achieving some results. The economy grew rapidly, shifting the economic structure in the right direction towards increasing the proportion of industry - construction, trade and services; reducing the proportion of agriculture, forestry and fishery. In particular, industry is the spearhead sector creating a breakthrough in the development of Hoang Mai town.

As a result, infrastructure has been gradually invested in, changing the face of the town. Many criteria for a type III urban area have been consolidated and completed.

Mobilizing investment resources has achieved many positive results, especially in attracting investment. Culture and society have made much progress. National defense and security have been ensured; the organization and staff in the political system have been consolidated, completed in a timely manner and operated effectively.

However, up to now, the development of Hoang Mai town as one of the three growth poles of the province has not met expectations; the town has only achieved 48 criteria for a type III urban area, and has not yet achieved 10 criteria.

At the meeting, comrade Le Duc Cuong - Member of the Standing Committee, Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Committee said: In the coming time, Hoang Mai town and the province itself need to continue to have stronger solutions to create breakthroughs in urban infrastructure, as well as more quickly shift the town's economic structure.

Evaluating the results of 8 years of implementing Resolution No. 11 on Hoang Mai town, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Duc Trung acknowledged the difficulties in implementing the goals and targets for the development of Hoang Mai town, and the criteria for a type III urban area, the resources to create momentum for the town are still not enough. Resolution No. 08 of the Provincial People's Council on stipulating a number of specific mechanisms and policies to support the socio-economic development of Hoang Mai town in the period of 2022 - 2025 (Resolution No. 08) has only solved temporary problems, not solved the fundamental problems for Hoang Mai.

However, in the current period, Hoang Mai has many great advantages that create momentum for development. According to the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, the town is currently a key area attracting electronic production projects such as Juteng, thereby attracting investors to support this project.

In the coming time, Hoang Mai area will continue to be an area with strong investment attraction potential. Therefore, in addition to the province's attention, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee suggested that the town should pay more attention to leadership and direction, especially in site clearance to implement projects, especially the upcoming site clearance of Hoang Mai II Industrial Park to attract investment.

Among the many things that need to be done to build and develop the town, comrade Thai Thanh Quy emphasized that Hoang Mai town needs to focus on developing industry in conjunction with environmental protection. Because once the industrial zones are filled, it will promote socio-economic development in the area, thereby indirectly implementing many indicators of a type III urban area.

To do so, in addition to the province's participation, Hoang Mai needs to do a good job of site clearance to attract investment, especially the upcoming Hoang Mai 2 industrial park; utilize the adjacent Nghi Son port and exploit the space of the National Highway connecting Hoang Mai town and Thai Hoa town to develop industry.

Along with creating maximum conditions for industrial investors, Hoang Mai also needs to pay attention and create the best conditions for investors in the field of tourism and resorts to form tourism facilities and services to serve Nghi Son Economic Zone and tourists, especially in the North when the North-South Expressway is completed. Hoang Mai also needs to resolutely preserve the space and environment of Hoang Mai River and the sea route to develop urban areas along the river and coast.
