[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 6th that it held the ‘Meeting to Report on the Handling Plan of Suggestions from Residents’ on the 5th.

At this meeting, department heads and others attended to discuss the current progress, future plans, and prompt handling measures regarding the suggestions and proposals for county administration development raised during the town and township tour meetings with residents held from the 9th to the 17th of last month.

Despite the long Lunar New Year holiday, the responsible departments completed individual visits to the suggesters and on-site inspections. Urgent matters such as village water supply leaks and prevention of residents’ safety accidents will be promptly addressed through securing additional budget in March.

Furthermore, for projects requiring long processing periods or those that cannot be pursued, clear reasons for non-processing such as budget support efficiency, public interest for the majority, and post-management issues due to aging will be presented to seek residents’ cooperation and understanding.

In this year’s town and township tour meetings with residents, the county clearly presented its goals and vision, including key policies of the 7th elected administration such as ‘income increase and population inflow through job creation’ and ‘promotion of high value-added industries in agriculture, forestry, livestock, and fisheries,’ encouraging active participation and understanding from residents.

Major suggestions by town and township included over 240 current issues and proposals for county administration development, such as ‘development of wells and maintenance of irrigation and drainage channels’ due to recent droughts and heavy rains caused by abnormal weather, and measures to foster tourism industry based on local culture and arts.

County Governor Lee Seung-ok said, “Please do your best to positively resolve the matters raised during the dialogue with residents, considering fairness for individual projects and the circumstances of each town, township, and village,” and added, “For suggestions that are delayed or require a long time to process, please share the processing progress with residents frequently and provide detailed guidance.”
