Being a mountainous commune in region 2, in the 20 years since its establishment, especially in the 10 years of implementing the National Target Program on New Rural Construction, the Party Committee, the government, the Fatherland Front and the people of Tay Thanh commune have always been creative, putting the Party's resolutions into practice, creating consensus among the people. The whole commune has mobilized a total of over 327 billion VND in resources for new rural construction, of which people's capital contributed over 52%. Following the post-clearance planning, Tay Thanh has built over 87 km of commune roads, hamlet roads, and alleys that are concreted, asphalted and graded to ensure convenient travel.
