Up to now, 100% of households in the area agree with the residential area's resolution. proposed.

In front of me is a residential cultural house project with a usable area of more than 100m2 with a total project value of more than 200 million VND, which is being urgently completed by the contractor to hand over to the residential area for alternative use. for the degraded old cultural house. To achieve this project, 4 households in Long area donated more than 1,000 square meters of farmland and each household contributed 1,300,000 VND/household in the area to build the project as well as complete cultural institutions.
