III. CURRENT STATUS OF INVESTMENT ATTRACTION AT SONG CONG I INDUSTRIAL PARK
After more than 22 years of formation and development, up to now, Sông Công I Industrial Park has been leased nearly 120 hectares of land by Thái Nguyên province, of which only about 90 hectares have been deployed out of a total of 195 hectares that have been planned. The reason is that slow compensation for site clearance has led to increasingly high site clearance costs and the population in the planned area has become crowded, making compensation for site clearance of the remaining 105 hectares extremely difficult, especially for about 54 hectares of densely populated areas.
For the construction area that has been deployed, Sông Công I Industrial Park has leased out the entire area with more than 40 projects of investors from Korea, China and Vietnam such as the communication equipment repair project of SR Tech Co., Ltd. (Korea); Mechanical processing and metal coating project of SN Vina Co., Ltd. (Korea); Garment project of TNG Investment and Trading Company (Vietnam); Metal forging, pressing, stamping project of Forging Joint Stock Company (Vietnam)....

For the areas that have not been deployed, Thái Nguyên province is continuing to seek opinions from relevant departments and agencies along with people's opinions to continue to adjust the planning area, remove from the planning the areas that are difficult to implement site clearance, and supplement and replace them with land funds that are easier to implement.
