“Holding onto land” for 15 years without implementation, Vinamit Joint Stock Company is proposed to have its land recovered
The Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Hai Duong province recently proposed that the provincial People’s Committee not extend the land use term for Vinamit Joint Stock Company and at the same time recover more than 34.7 hectares of the company’s project land.
Accordingly, in 2008, Vinamit Joint Stock Company was granted a lease of over 34.7 hectares of land in Ai Quoc and Nam Dong Wards (Hai Duong City) by the provincial People’s Committee to implement a project for a processing factory, a general warehouse for preserving fruits and vegetables, and a showcase of agricultural product production processes. However, the company has not implemented the project for many years and has been granted extensions by the province several times.
As of now, the company has been behind schedule in land use for more than 30 months since the last adjustment of the project implementation schedule.
According to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, in the past years, the company has sent several letters to the Provincial Party Committee, the provincial People’s Committee, and relevant agencies requesting support, establishment and approval of detailed construction plans at a 1/500 scale, and implementation of the project to build a commercial and service area and a new residential area in Ai Quoc Ward (Hai Duong City).
