Phu Tho Accelerates Green Urban Development and Social Housing Projects

On the morning of August 25, Vice Chairman of the Phu Tho Provincial People’s Committee Vu Viet Van, a member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, chaired a meeting to review the implementation of the Second-tier Cities Development Program Project and the development of social housing projects across the province.

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Vu Viet Van delivers concluding remarks at the meeting.

The Second-tier Cities Development Program Project (Green Cities), funded through an ADB loan, comprises six components: dredging and landscape conservation of Dam Vac Lake; drainage and wastewater treatment; tertiary wastewater connection systems; a revolving fund for household wastewater treatment; development of green spaces in the southern area of Dam Vac Lake; and the framework infrastructure road for the university village.

The project is being implemented in Vinh Phuc and Vinh Yen wards and Tam Duong and Hoi Thinh communes, with an approved total investment of 2,045.25 billion VND. The project is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2028. As of August 2026, more than 127.9 billion VND had been disbursed, equivalent to 22.2% of the 2026 plan.

Leaders of the Vinh Phuc Regional Project Management Board report on the project’s implementation.

Concluding this part of the meeting, Vice Chairman Vu Viet Van requested the Vinh Phuc Regional Project Management Board to urgently review and complete the necessary procedures and documentation for implementation of the project components; accelerate construction progress and ensure the disbursement schedule for public investment capital. The board was also asked to regularly supervise construction quality and closely coordinate with local authorities on site clearance.

The Vice Chairman requested Vinh Yen Ward to develop a plan to resolve the outstanding compensation issue involving eight households that have not yet received site-clearance compensation payments, thereby ensuring the progress of the project components.

Leaders of the Department of Construction report at the meeting.

Regarding social housing projects across the province, Vice Chairman Vu Viet Van requested the Department of Construction to regularly review and urge the progress of ongoing and planned social housing and worker housing projects. Projects that are delayed due to subjective causes on the part of investors must be dealt with firmly. At the same time, strict control must be maintained over construction quality, technical standards and synchronized infrastructure connections.

Relevant departments, agencies and localities were asked to coordinate actively to accelerate site clearance, strengthen communication and mobilization efforts, and build consensus among local residents, ensuring that prolonged site-clearance procedures do not affect project implementation schedules.
