Dong Nai: Residents donate 3.2 ha of land worth over 15 billion VND to open road

In a remarkable display of community spirit, residents of Binh Phuoc and Dong Xoai communes in Dong Nai province, Vietnam, have voluntarily donated nearly 3.2 hectares of land, valued at over 15 billion VND (approximately $600,000 USD), to facilitate the construction of a new road. The project, named Hai Thuong Lan Ong, aims to connect the two communes and improve local transportation infrastructure.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the road, which will span nearly 1.9 kilometers and have a width of 28 meters, took place on June 25. The total investment for the project is 90 billion VND, funded by public development capital. The land acquisition process has impacted 98 plots, with 48 households enthusiastically agreeing to cede their land for the public good.

Responding to the "public affairs, village affairs, even golden land is donated" movement, many residents have embraced the initiative. Among them is Tran Minh Hung, who donated nearly 4,800 square meters of his garden land. He expressed his belief that the new road will enhance convenience for travel and commerce, benefiting the entire community. "For the common good of the people, we are also people, so we do what is beneficial," Hung stated, hoping for a better road for residents.

“

I think when there is a big road, people will travel and do business more conveniently. For the common good of the people, we are also people, so we do what is beneficial. I hope there will be a good road soon for people to travel and do business more conveniently.

Another notable contributor is Mai The Tam, who, along with his family, donated approximately 120 square meters of land and a 40-meter-long wall, along with his house, located at a prime intersection. This donation alone is valued at over 1 billion VND. Tam shared that the road would improve business and travel for everyone, including his own family. He is prepared to dismantle his house when construction begins.

The local authorities have commended and recognized the households for their generous contributions, which have enabled the project to commence on schedule. The construction is part of a high-stakes emulation campaign launched by the Dong Nai City Party Committee, aiming for "unity - discipline - efficiency - breakthrough" over 500 days and nights.

I see that the road being built will help people travel and do business more conveniently, and my family will also benefit from it. The locality mobilized, so I donated. When the construction unit takes the site, I will voluntarily dismantle the house.
