ĐÀ NẴNG — The suburban Hoà Vang District has allocated a total of 775ha of land for investment.

The land will be home to six key projects in terms of a new urban conurbation, an industrial cluster, a wholesale market, an industrial zone, an inland clearance deport and logistics centre and three hi-tech farming areas, according to the plans.

Vice chairman of the district’s People’s Committee, Nguyễn Thúc Dũng explained the plan at a conference where he said ready-cleared locations will be offered to potential investors in the next decades.

Dũng said the district – the only agriculture-based district in the central city of Đà Nẵng – has been converting it into an urban industrialised town and a favourite destination for fast and sustainable investment in 2030-50.

“We have been speeding up land clearance in creating legal and ‘clean’ location for businesses pouring fund and seeking sustainable growth targets in the future. About 30 per cent of planned land lots for investment projects have been available in terms of legal framework, compensation, technical infrastructure readiness and traffic,” Dũng said.
