A project to build the Cuoi Ha ecological urban and entertainment area and cable car system in Kim Boi and Cuoi Ha communes is one of the two major projects of Hoa Binh in Kim Boi district. Currently, the local administration is working to speed up ground clearance for the project and the construction of resettlement areas for affected people, thus supporting the investor in implementing the project.
Kim Boi district’s Land Fund Development Centre makes land inventory and assessment in Coc Lam village, Cuoi Ha commune.
The project is invested by Sun Hoa Binh Limited Liability Company with a total capital of about 6.65 trillion VND (261.6 million USD). Covering 189.01 hectares, the project is capable of hosting 10,900 people.
On August 20, 2024, the People’s Committee of Kim Boi district issued a notice on land recovery for the project’s implementation. From August 28, the district’s Land Fund Development Centre started to conduct measurement of land areas and counting of assets on land. To date, 60.92 hectares of land of 368 households have been counted. Kim Boi district has set up working teams to conduct communications activities to call for local officials and residents’ support to the project.
According to Quach Van Mau, head of residential area No.2 in Coc Lam village, Kim Boi commune said that the village has 449 households, most of them affected by the project. About 90% of the farming land is likely to be acquired for the project. Locals were worried about their future livelihoods. However, after receiving explanations from local officials, they have actively engaged in land clearance for the project.
Bui Thanh Ha, Deputy Director of the district’s Land Fund Development Centre said that site clearance work is facing many difficulties, especially regarding compensation due to the differences in farming land prices in different communes. Currently, the investor is coordinating with relevant agencies to build resettlement areas, schools and cemeteries.
Meanwhile, Kim Boi district has proposed Hoa Binh province to build a new land price range to replace the old one to deal with this issue. Recently, the provincial Steering Committee for major projects has assigned Kim Boi and Lac Son districts to speed up ground clearance for the project and complete the work by October 30. The localities were asked to step up the construction of resettlement areas and announce their planning schemes and encourage local people to give space for the project.
Meanwhile, Sun Hoa Binh was requested to expand roads to local cemeteries, and help affected locals with vocational training and employment. The firm is expected to start construction of the project within 2024.
A movement to promote the proactive engagement of women in the study, creative labour and building prosperous and happy families is spreading more and more widely in the local women’s unions in Hoa Binh, attracting a large number of women. Bui Thi Xiem, Director of Thien Loi An medicinal herbs cooperative in Kim Boi commune, Kim Boi district, emerges as one of typical examples in implementing the movement.
The Northern Region Industry and Trade Fair- Hoa Binh 2024 took place from October 14-20, featuring over 200 businesses with 250 booths from 30 northern provinces and several central and southern localities.
Over the past years, businesses in Hoa Binh province have maintained and expanded operations, significantly contributing to local development.
The Standing Board of the Party Committee of Provincial Agencies of Hoa Binh on October 11 held a get-together with enterprises under the Party Organisation of Provincial Agencies, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Vietnam Entrepreneurs’ Day (October 13, 2004-2024).
Recently, along with efforts to enhance product quality, relevant sectors, and stakeholders involved in the One Commune One Product (OCOP) (OCOP) programme have focused on developing and refining product designs and packaging, thus attracting customer interest and increasing the value of OCOP items in Hoa Binh province.
The Hoa Binh-Moc Chau expressway’s section crossing Hoa Binh is 34km in length and has total investment of over 9.99 trillion VND (402.09 million USD). The project, scheduled to become operational in 2028, is expected to open new development opportunities and space for the province.
