According to the People's Committee of Tay Giang commune, after implementing a two-level local government, the commune focuses on social security policies for the people such as: issuing health insurance cards, supporting study costs, giving gifts to village elders and village chiefs.

Tay Giang proposes that in the 2026-2030 period, it will continue to invest in transport infrastructure, domestic water, medicinal plant models and community tourism associated with the preservation of Co Tu culture.
