3,400ha airport urban complex proposed in Quang Tri
Proposed key subdivisions include an industrial and energy complex, a seaport, an eco-tourism urban area, a modern agricultural rural area, and the airport area.
The People's Committee of central Quang Tri province recently held a meeting with T&T Group Joint Stock Company and the Management Board of the Quang Tri Economic Zone to review the plans and ideas for an aviation-logistics-service-trade and airport urban complex in the locality.
At the meeting, a representative from the consulting unit, CPG Corporation Singapore, presented their study on the context, location, and potential of Quang Tri province. They proposed key subdivisions within the Southeast Quang Tri Economic Zone, including an industrial and energy complex, a seaport, an eco-tourism urban area, a modern agricultural rural area, and the airport area.
The consulting unit also outlined two preliminary options, suggesting that 3,400 ha of land around the airport could be developed into eight sub-districts, comprising five functional areas and three residential areas.
Mr. Ha Sy Dong, Acting Chairman of the provincial People's Committee, expressed that the consulting unit's research and planning ideas could maximize the local advantages and potential, paving the way for future development and transforming the impoverished region into a thriving urban center.
Currently, Quang Tri Airport is under construction and is expected to become operational by July 2026.
The project, undertaken by a joint venture between T&T Group and CIENCO 4, involves a total investment of over VND5.8 trillion (more than $28.7 million) and expects to serve up to 5 million passengers and 25,500 tons of cargo annually.
