Up to 266 households voluntarily donated 1.8ha of land to expand rural roads in the 2020 – 2022 period. Up to now, the commune has satisfied nine out of 13 standards for urban infrastructure development in line with Resolution No. 26/2022/UBTVQH15, dated September 21, 2022, of the National Assembly Standing Committee, including those relating to communal health stations; commercial infrastructure; land for preschool and secondary school; land for cultural, physical training and sports facilities per capita and percentage of households collecting and treating domestic wastewater by appropriate methods.

Regarding the criterion of the percentage of lit roads to be 95% or higher, the city and relevant sectors are taking steps to invest in building a lighting system along National Highway No 6 and lighting systems for other roads in the commune to meet the standard by 2025.
