The commune was recognised as meeting the enhanced standards of new-style rural areas on December 31, 2021.

There are three major roads running through the commune, including 8 km of National Highway No 6, 2km of Hoa Lac - Hoa Binh road, and 3km of the provincial road No 446. Besides, work is underway on a 7km section of the regional road in the commune. This is a favourable condition for the flow of goods and socio-economic development of the locality.

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. Four standard criteria have not been met, namely educational facilities, percentage of lit roads, percentage of the urban population supplied with clean water and density of main sewer pipes.

In order to be recognised as meeting Class-III urban wards, all educational establishments must satisfy the standards of level 1 of the Ministry of Education and Training. The commune has asked the city's People's Committee and education department to devise a plan to help Dan Hoa primary school and Mong Hoa secondary school to meet level 1 of national standards in 2024.

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. As for the criterion on the percentage of the urban population supplied with clean water through the centralised water supply system and using hygienic water sources, the commune has proposed the city and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development carry out projects that meet the requirements.

Currently, Mong Hoa commune continues to call for private investment to meet the urban criteria such as building lighting and decorative lighting systems; collection and treatment of domestic wastewater; and mobilising people to donate land to upgrade rural roads and cultural, physical training and sports facilities.
