The project is in the second phase of Becamex IDC's social housing project, with a scale of 120,000 apartments, serving the needs of more than 300,000 people. Most of the apartments are about 30 square meters, with preferential prices from VND100 to VND200 million. In addition, there are more advanced apartments priced from VND200 to 500 million, or VND750,000 a month for rent. Previously, the first phase of the project built more than 47,500 apartments. Reasonable selling and rental prices attracted tens of thousands of workers and low-income people.
According to Binh Duong Provincial People's Committee, there are currently about one million workers outside the province, of which more than 480,000 people have stable housing. In addition, there are about 200 businesses building their own housing for workers, for about 50,000 people. The remaining about 470,000 workers have to rent houses.
At the groundbreaking ceremony, when visiting a worker's family in Dinh Hoa Ward, Thu Dau Mot City, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said that the current social housing in Dinh Hoa basically meets the living needs of small families. However, in the future, the province needs to pay attention to expanding the area of apartments with better living conditions, investing in infrastructure in health, education, environment, culture and society.
"The construction needs to be more synchronous and complete, meeting development requirements and the wishes and needs of workers," the Prime Minister said.
The Prime Minister said that the Government is implementing the socio-economic recovery and development program for the period 2022-2023, including policies directly related to promoting the development of social housing and housing for workers.
Previously, on the morning of March 19, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh attended the groundbreaking ceremony of Vietnam – Singapore Industrial Park 3 (VSIP 3), with an area of 1,000 hectares and a total investment of VND6.4 trillion, in Hoi Nghia Ward, Tan Uyen Town.
VSIP III is designed to integrate smart technology from energy use, water, waste, transportation and security. The industrial park also built a 50-hectare solar farm to supply electricity to large customers.
According to the Binh Duong Provincial People's Committee, up to now, there are 31 domestic and foreign corporations and companies in the high-tech field exploring the possibility of production development in the industrial park, equivalent to 176 hectares of industrial land, and USD1.8 billion in investment capital.
In Binh Duong, VSIP was formed in 1996 based on the cooperation relationship between Vietnam and Singapore. In addition to VSIP 3, in Binh Duong there are also VSIP 1 with an area of 500 hectares in Thuan An City; and VSIP 2 phase 1 covering more than 2,000 hectares and located in 4 areas of Thu Dau Mot City, Ben Cat Town, Tan Uyen and Bac Tan Uyen District. In addition, this joint venture also cooperates with many provinces to open industrial parks./.
