Additionally, several businesses are studying investment opportunities in the Dam River urban area project (in Tam Ky city) and the Chu Lai Airport upgrade project (in Nui Thanh district).
These projects hold great significance for the province, and their successful implementation would offer Quang Nam a chance for substantial development. The entire region, including Thang Binh, Duy Xuyen, and Tam Ky, would benefit from improved flood control, and enhanced connectivity across the two banks of the Truong Giang River.
“The primary purpose of this meeting is to discuss how to focus on land clearance. We must address this from the outset to ensure the successful implementation of these projects. Learning from the experience of some ODA-funded projects, which faced challenges during implementation due to issues with land clearance, we should prioritize this aspect to facilitate future developments,” Mr. Dung emphasized.
According to a report by the Management Board for Traffic Work Construction Investment of Quang Nam province (the investor), the Integrated Adaptive Development Project of Quang Nam is being carried out in Tam Ky city and Duy Xuyen, Thang Binh, and Nui Thanh districts.
The project has a total investment of over VND 2,722 billion, including approximately VND 1,838 billion in ODA loans from the World Bank and about VND 884.196 billion in counterpart funds.

The project is expected to impact around 1,068 households due to land acquisition. Of these, 796 households will be affected by the loss of more than 20% of their total cultivated land area, and approximately 159 principal houses will be permanently affected, leading to the relocation of 272 households. Among them, 126 households will need to rebuild their houses on the remaining land, while 146 households will be relocated to resettlement areas.
The investor plans to complete all necessary procedures and preparations, with the first construction expected to commence in September 2025.

Concluding the meeting, Mr. Le Van Dung commended the Management Board for Traffic Work Construction Investment of Quang Nam province and the local authorities for their proactive efforts in the initial stages, especially in managing the current situation.
However, he noted that this is just the beginning, and much work lies ahead, requiring strong political commitment.

The Chairman of the People’s Committee of Quang Nam province emphasized the need to minimize the impact on the livelihoods of the affected people during the implementation process. He also pointed out the importance of gaining the people’s consensus for the project, effectively managing the current situation to prevent illegal construction or expansion of existing structures in anticipation of compensation…
