The project, invested in by Hanoi - Bac Giang Industrial Park Infrastructure Investment JSC, covers 197.1 hectares and began construction in August 2025.

MPC Secretary Nguyen Hong Thai chairs a meeting during an inspection of construction progress at the Song Mai - Nghia Trung Industrial Park.

As of September 2026, the investor had completed site clearance and technical infrastructure works on 50 hectares. The first phase of a central wastewater treatment plant, with a designed capacity of 6,000 cubic metres per day, has also been built.

The plant's total capacity across all phases is planned at 8,000 cubic metres per day.

Several secondary investors have registered to invest in the industrial park, with combined capital of nearly 600 billion VND (23.2 million USD).

The MPC Secretary and delegates visit and inspect the wastewater treatment plant at Song Mai - Nghia Trung Industrial Park.

For the remaining 89.8 hectares in the first phase, the investor plans to carry out site clearance in stages, with infrastructure construction proceeding as land is handed over.

It aims to complete site clearance by December 2027 and bring the entire area into operation from the beginning of the second quarter of 2028.

Following reports and discussions with the investor, relevant departments, agencies and local authorities, the MPC Secretary Thai called on agencies and units to take greater responsibility and coordinate proactively to resolve obstacles, ensuring the project's progress and investment efficiency.

Regarding proposals to build a pumping station, upgrade the drainage canal system leading to the Thuong River and complete a connecting road, he requested a comprehensive review of urban and residential development plans and local infrastructure, alongside an assessment of actual needs, to identify appropriate solutions.

On site clearance for the next phase, the municipal leader urged the investor to maintain close coordination with local authorities and relevant agencies and comply with legal regulations.

The authorities of Viet Yen and Da Mai wards were asked to monitor developments closely and promptly address residents' legitimate concerns, while safeguarding the lawful interests of all parties.

He stressed that industrial development must go hand in hand with job creation and improved living standards.

MPC Secretary Nguyen Hong Thai conducts a site inspection and discusses project implementation with leaders of relevant departments and agencies and representatives of the investor.

He called on the two wards to work with the investor to assess recruitment needs, occupational requirements and the capacity of the local workforce, then develop training and employment programmes to provide residents with stable, long-term livelihoods.

The municipal Party Chief also urged the investor to improve the quality of investment attraction, prioritising high-tech and environmentally friendly projects.

The company was encouraged to explore the effective use of renewable energy, including rooftop solar power for industrial production.

Infrastructure development should be implemented in a coordinated manner, with due regard for environmental protection and efficient resource use, to enhance the industrial park's appeal to secondary investors.
