VSIP Nghe An has drawn in companies from a variety of sectors like textile and garment, electronics, and footwear. This allows thousands of residents to get a job right in their hometown instead of working far from home as many did in the past.
Tran Thi Minh, a resident of Hung Tay, Hung Nguyen who works at a textile company in the industrial zone said that since VSIP was opened, it brought many job opportunities and helped locals to leave their farming work behind. Especially, far fewer people have to look for jobs in big cities as they can find employment at the zone.
“My average wage is VND6 million ($256) a month," she added, "and if I take a few shifts overtime, it will be even higher. Having a stable job close to home has improved my family’s life. Because of COVID-19, we have been getting fewer working hours, but everything will return to normal when the pandemic is over.”
Ho Van Hiep, vice president of Hung Nguyen district’s People’s Committee stated that VSIP Nghe An has enhanced provincial traffic infrastructure and modernised the urban landscape. In particular, the park has grown the provincial economy and provided social security by giving jobs for up to 1,500 local workers.
Le Ngoc Hoa, vice president of Nghe An People’s Committee said that the province has attracted hundreds of foreign investors every year to discover investment opportunities. Many of them have made Nghe An their final choice for long-term development.
Located at the western entrance of Vinh city, VSIP Nghe An is closely linked to key infrastructure in the city, making transportation easy for residents and businesses. The zone has been investing in infrastructure development, which will facilitate businesses and attract more domestic and foreign investment.
“With the authorities' motto of 'accompanying enterprises', Nghe An province continues improving its investment environment. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the province also promised to support the affected businesses in practical ways such as tax reduction and exemptions, as well as debt rescheduling. Businesses’ success is the province’s success,” he stated.
VSIP Nghe An Co., Ltd. built and operates a 6,000 cubic meter wastewater treatment plant as part of the first phase of the project. It is expected that after completion, the plant will be able to process 28,000 cubic metres of wastewater a day, covering the output of the entire 750ha project area. The standard wastewater treatment plant of VSIP Nghe An shows the strong commitments of VSIP to bringing an environmental-friendly service, urban, and industrial park in Nghe An.
