Quang Nam: Resolutely handling projects with long delays
On the afternoon of April 10, the Chairman of the Quang Nam Provincial People's Committee Le Van Dung chaired a meeting to hear reports from relevant departments, branches, and localities on the status of projects with long delays and backlogs in the area.
According to the report of the Department of Finance, the province currently has 143 projects using state budget capital that are behind schedule. Of these, 11 projects have stopped, 9 projects have been suspended, and 123 projects have extended the construction time compared to the original plan. In addition, the non-budget capital sector also recorded 95 real estate projects and 45 production and business projects with delays, many of which have been "inactive" for 5 to 10 years.
At the meeting, delegates frankly pointed out that the main reasons leading to the above situation were due to the prolonged compensation and site clearance work, difficulties in arranging counterpart funds, limited financial capacity of some investors. In addition, planning adjustments, changes in land policies, and adverse impacts from the real estate market also greatly affect project implementation progress.
Notably, many non-budget capital projects in urban areas, industrial parks, and coastal economic zones, although licensed for investment many years ago, are still "inactive" or under slow construction. This situation causes serious waste of land resources, affects urban aesthetics, and raises public indignation.
Concluding the meeting, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Van Dung requested departments, branches, People's Committees of districts, towns, and cities, and investors to review and classify all slow-progressing works and projects. The classification must be specific, with detailed reports for each project. Units must synthesize and review the full list of projects and report to the Provincial People's Committee through the Department of Finance no later than April 14. Those who fail to implement or report incompletely will be held responsible before the Provincial Party Committee and the people for the project's slow progress, causing a waste of resources.
