HCM City to relocate 10,000 production plants from unzoned areas

More than 10,000 production plants in HCM City of which most of them are small or medium sized situated outside industrial zones having limited resources and space for their business and do not adequately protect the environment will be relocated, according to the municipal People’s Committee.

The production plants are mostly situated in residential areas, using outdated technologies and equipment, and have made little investment in waste disposal, with some also facing a high risk of fire.

Many have severely affected the lives of local residents and made it difficult for local authorities to manage them.

Those in sectors like construction materials, textiles, dyeing, and chemicals will be moved into industrial parks and complexes or out of the city. While, Small slaughterhouses will be moved to areas that group them in clusters.

The city provides supports to plants that move to zoned areas on their own preference.

According to city People’s Committee, the relocation of establishments not included in the city’s urban plans for 2016-20 would be done quickly,
