As of mid-September, the commune met 12 out of the 19 criteria. In 2019, it strives to meet other criteria on transport, school, and residential housing. The remainders are expected to be completed in 2020.

The commune proposed accelerating the progress of construction works, including clean water supply facilities, and treating rural waste.
