Ha Tinh Provincial People’s Committee has approved the establishment of the Lac Thien Industrial Cluster in Duc Thinh commune, covering about 30 hectares with total investment of over 267 billion VND. The project is expected to expand the province’s capacity to attract manufacturing and supporting industries and to create jobs for local workers.
Under Decision No. 1143/QD-UBND dated May 7, 2026, the Lac Thien Industrial Cluster will be developed by Delta E&C Construction and Mechanical Joint Stock Company as the infrastructure investor.
The cluster is oriented toward multi-sector development, prioritizing textiles and garment processing, leather goods finishing, and packaging; mechanical manufacturing and electrical-electronics; consumer goods production; processing of agricultural and forest products; and other supporting industries.
According to the plan, the cluster’s technical infrastructure will be completed and put into operation within 24 months from the time state land is allocated or leased. The project will receive investment incentives under Decree 32/2024/ND-CP and other applicable land and supporting policies.
The Ha Tinh Provincial People’s Committee assigns the Department of Industry and Trade to lead state management for the Lac Thien Industrial Cluster, coordinating with relevant departments to guide, inspect, and monitor the investment, construction, and operation process. Other specialized units will manage areas including investment, planning, construction, land, and the environment to ensure compliance with regulations.
Duc Thinh Commune People’s Committee is tasked with coordinating with the investor to implement compensation, resettlement support, and site clearance. The commune will also study and propose investments in a transport corridor connecting to the cluster boundary to facilitate production and goods transport.
The province requires the investor to implement the project in line with stated objectives and committed timelines, fully comply with regulations on investment, construction, land, environmental protection, and labor, and provide periodic reports on construction progress, investment capital, labor situation, environmental protection, and overall project performance.
Ha Tinh currently has 22 industrial clusters with a total area of over 571 hectares. Of these, 12 government-invested clusters have attracted 179 projects, with an average occupancy rate of over 63%. Meanwhile, 10 investor-invested clusters have 172 registered manufacturing projects, with an occupancy rate of 31.22%.
Industries operating in these clusters are diverse, ranging from light industry and processing to mechanical construction and infrastructure services and logistics. They employ more than 8,500 workers and contribute significantly to local economic growth.
To catalyze industrial and craft development, Ha Tinh has streamlined administrative procedures, improved the business investment environment, and implemented multiple policies to support enterprises investing in industrial clusters.
