The project has a total investment of around VND22 trillion (nearly US$1 billion), covering an area of over 3,200ha in Nghi Loc and Dien Chau districts.

The first phase of the project has an investment of US$92.2 million and an area of 498ha, aiming to build synchronous and modern infrastructure and prepare empty land to attract investors inside and outside the country.
