To make way for the project, 147 households had to relocate to the 9.5-hectare Resettlement Area, which is adjacent to the industrial park. The Provincial People’s Committee approved the task of detailed construction planning for the Resettlement Area with a ratio of 1/500 in August this year. The EIA Report, released in November, revealed that compensation for land acquisition has been completed for an area of over 410 hectares, and compensation for the remaining area is ongoing.
