In order to improve the investment environment, Song Cong considers administrative procedure reform as a key task, creating conditions for businesses to learn, research and invest in production and trade. In particular, the city focuses on reviewing and simplifying administrative procedures, especially those related to investment licensing and business registration, bidding, construction, issuance of land use rights certificates, conversion of land use purposes... ensuring publicity and transparency. The decisions on investment project planning are published on the Public Service Portal and other media, creating favorable conditions for businesses to quickly grasp and promptly resolve feedback and recommendations from people, organizations, and businesses about administrative regulations. At the same time, promote the application of information technology in receiving and processing documents at the One-Stop Department of the city, communes and wards.

Currently, the obstacles in site clearance to expand the scale of the factory to more than 3.9 hectares are being actively directed by the local government to be resolved.

That is also a solution that concretizes the policy of the Party Committee and the city government: "The growth of an enterprise is the resource contributing to ensuring social security of the locality".
