Duoc on Wednesday visited some local firms to check the return of their workers after the Lunar New Year Holiday. Most of the workers have returned to work at local firms. However, one of the problems of many companies in Long An is an accommodation shortage for their staff.
Vietnam Urban and Industrial Zone Development Investment Corporation (IDICO) has planned to carry out a low-cost housing project covering a total of 60,000 hectares of land in Ben Luc or Duc Hoa District.
Tran Anh Group is seeking local authority approval for a project to build 10,000 houses for low-income earners with the price of VND400 million (USD17,241) each.
The province will create the most favourable conditions for investors of housing projects for workers.
Last year, Long An stood second nationwide in attracting foreign direct investment with USD3.84 billion, accounting for 12.3% of the country’s total FDI. Currently, investors from 40 countries and territories are investing in the province. Singapore topped the list of foreign investors in Long An, followed by South Korea, Japan, the US and Thailand.
