Towards a Modern Industrial City

According to the development plan, Long Giao town will become an important traffic hub of the province, located in the economic triangle of Long Khanh - Long Thanh and Ba Ria - Vung Tau province, while being the district capital of Cam My. Long Giao urban area plays an important role in trade with Ba Ria - Vung Tau, Binh Thuan provinces and is the vicinity of Long Thanh international airport. Long Giao town will be developed in the direction of urbanization, industrialization and modernization.

In the coming time, this urban will be given priority to the development of urban and technical infrastructure projects to create a driving force for socio-economic development; to develop industrial clusters and restructure the economy in the direction of increasing the proportion of industry - construction and trade - services, and reducing agriculture. Since then, there will be a redistribution of labor among occupations and regions in the whole district and gradually improve the quality of life for the people.

Mr. Nguyen Quang Huy (Suoi Ca hamlet) expressed his wish that after being approved to become a town, technical and social infrastructure works such as roads, schools, construction planning, especially clean water for domestic use, will be upgraded according to urban criteria so that people will no longer suffer from water shortages when the dry season comes.

Also, Mr. Truong Van Ha (Suoi Ca hamlet) said, to “catch up” the opportunity that the Ministry of Home Affairs and the National Assembly’s Standing Committee approve Long Giao as a town, Long Giao Industrial Cluster, Cam My Industrial Park, and his mechanical business have expanded and received many local workers for apprenticeship. Mr. Ha hopes that when the project of upgrading to Long Giao town is approved, technical infrastructure projects such as houses, schools, roads, industrial clusters will soon be deployed, and all his apprentice workers will have regular jobs with stable income without having to work as hired labor or on the fields as at present.

Cam My is the only district-level locality in the province that has not yet approved a town. In October 2020, the Provincial People's Council issued a resolution to approve the policy of establishing Long Giao town and is submitting it to the Ministry of Home Affairs and the National Assembly’s Standing Committee for consideration and approval. The approval for the establishment of Long Giao town not only meets the expectations and efforts of the Party Committee and the people of Long Giao commune over the years, but also meets the standards of district-level administrative units. In the future, Long Giao town will be developed in the direction of urbanization of industrialization and modernization. This will be the central urban area of Cam My District, creating a ‘driving force’ to bring into play the potentials and advantages of the region, to carry out economic restructuring and to redistribute labor between industries and communes in the district
