Binh Dinh seeks PM help with farmland conversion for major urban area projects
Binh Dinh has proposed Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh directly intervene in removing difficulties related to farmland conversion procedures for 10 urban area projects in the south-central province.
One of these projects is the Long Van 3 Urban Area in Bui Thi Xuan ward, Quy Nhon town, invested in by a joint venture of Binh Dinh TC Construction JSC and Nhon Tan Warehouse Development and Investment One Member Company Limited.
The 38 hectare project, with a total investment of VND2.55 trillion ($108.36 million), is facing difficulties in converting about 20.79 hectares of rice fields.

The VND2.22 trillion ($94.34 million) Long Van 4 Urban Area project, also in Bui Thi Xuan ward, invested in by a joint venture between Phu Tai JSC and Nhon Tan Warehouse Development and Investment One Member Company Limited, is encountering obstacles in converting about 11.9 hectares of farmland out of its total area of 32 hectares.

The NDT1 and NDT2 urban areas to the west of the new National Highway 19 in Nhon Binh ward, Quy Nhon town, both invested in by the Nhon Tan Warehouse Development and Investment One Member Company Limited, have to get 22.44 hectares and 22.77 hectares of rice fields converted, respectively. The two projects are expected to cost VND3.01 trillion ($127.9 million), respectively.
