CTCP Thương mại Dịch vụ Tràng Thi (T12) has released an environmental impact assessment report for the Quang Huc urban project in Phu Tho province.
According to the report published in January 2024, the detailed construction plan for the Quang Huc urban area, with a scale of approximately 37.36 hectares, was approved by the Phu Tho Provincial People’s Committee in June 2022. This plan is part of the 1/2000 zoning plan for the Tam Nong eco-tourism, resort, and golf area, approved by the Phu Tho Provincial People’s Committee according to Decision 2987/QD-UBND on November 13, 2020.
The investor of the Quang Huc urban area is Trang Thi Trading and Services Joint Stock Company, with Truong Thanh Development and Services Joint Stock Company as the consulting unit. Both companies are headquartered in Hanoi.
According to Trang Thi’s report, the project is bordered by DT.315C road and existing residential areas to the northwest; forest land to the southwest; forest land and existing residential areas to the northeast; and forest land to the southeast. The current land use consists mainly of existing residential land (1.67 hectares), agricultural land (35.13 hectares, including 0.84 hectares of water surface, 21.42 hectares of production forests, 4.14 hectares of protection forests, 1.22 hectares of annual crops, and 7.51 hectares of rice cultivation), non-agricultural land (0.4 hectares for transportation), and unused land (0.16 hectares).
The project allocates land by functional group, including 10.5 hectares for villa residential land (with a maximum height of 3 floors), 2.3 hectares for resettlement residential land (with a maximum height of 5 floors), and over 2.5 hectares for commercial and service land. The project can accommodate approximately 2,468 people.

Over 1 billion VND is allocated to compensate for over 21 hectares of non-planted forest.
The Quang Huc project was approved by the Phu Tho Provincial People’s Committee in April 2021. The total investment capital is estimated at 2,308 billion VND, including 74.4 billion VND for compensation, site clearance, and resettlement support, and 2,233 billion VND for construction. The maximum implementation period is 60 months from the date of signing the project implementation contract. The project has a 50-year operation period for commercial and service land and an indefinite period for residential land.
In September 2021, the provincial People’s Committee approved Trang Thi as the project’s investor. The company’s contributed capital must reach 346 billion VND, with 1,962 billion VND raised from other sources. The estimated land use fee to be paid is over 102 billion VND.
In August 2022, Trang Thi submitted a proposal to the authorities to pay for reforestation in lieu of the forest area converted for other purposes. According to a survey and assessment of the current forest status, the total area proposed for conversion of forest land for other purposes is over 21.4 hectares. Due to the inability to organize reforestation, the company plans to pay for reforestation with an area and value of nearly 1.1 billion VND (equivalent to 51.2 million VND per hectare of reforestation) to the forest protection and development fund of Phu Tho province. In September 2022, the provincial People’s Committee approved Trang Thi’s proposal for reforestation payment.
