Dozens of multi-billion-dong projects in Khâm Đức commune (Da Nang) are left unfinished and have fallen behind schedule. According to the Khâm Đức Commune Social Service Center, the locality recently received 12 projects from the former Phước Sơn Area Investment Project Management Board. Of these, 6 projects have been completed, 1 project has been halted, and 5 projects are still under construction.
Among the unfinished works is the old Khâm Đức Commune Police Headquarters, with total investment of more than 4.8 billion dong. The project began in August 2024 and has reached about 52% of the workload, but the planned deadline has already passed.
The Ho Chi Minh Highway section linking the Krung Krang production area (total investment 18 billion dong) has completed more than 94% of the work. However, the project is blocked at the initial segment of roughly 15 meters because a connection license has not been obtained, preventing the full route from being put into use.
Ly Tu Trong Secondary School (total investment 10 billion dong) is over 41% complete. Some items—including toilets, the car park, and the school gate—have been finished, but the main classroom block remains unfinished. The contractor halted work due to insufficient capacity.
Other projects also lag behind their timelines, including the Lao Mung resettlement area (12 billion dong) at around 64% progress and the Phước Sơn Sports Complex Phase 2 (30 billion dong) at 47.9% progress. The commune cites site clearance obstacles and adverse weather as key causes.
All of the above projects have exceeded their 2025 completion timelines and have not been extended. Some projects face risks of waste due to changing usage needs or regulatory constraints.
For example, the old Phước Xuân Police Station—despite requiring nearly 2 billion dong more to complete—has no clear post-completion use, as there are already many idle offices in the area. The commune also notes that repurposing is constrained by security land-use planning. In addition, there are concerns about management and safeguarding to prevent deterioration if the facility remains unused.
The head of Khâm Đức commune said that receiving 12 ongoing projects at once creates substantial pressure on the local budget. Da Nang City requires the locality to allocate funds to continue completing the unfinished works.
With about 29 billion dong of capital allocated for the year, Khâm Đức must allocate more than 22 billion dong to support five unfinished projects. To balance resources, the commune had to cut 11 of the 14 planned new projects for the year.
To address delays, Khâm Đức’s leadership has directed relevant departments to finalize legal procedures, adjust execution timelines, and resolve contract delays by mid-April.
The commune also plans to work directly with contractors. If contractors lack capacity or do not show sufficient commitment, Khâm Đức will terminate contracts to select new contractors.
In addition, the chairman of Khâm Đức commune said the locality will request additional funds from Da Nang City to ensure essential public projects serving residents can continue.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
