Pre-candidate Shin Jeong-hoon Proposes Formation of Communication Council for Nampyeong Agricultural and Industrial Complex

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Shin Jeong-hoon, a candidate for the Democratic Party of Korea's Jeonnam Naju·Hwasun National Assembly primary, proposed the formation of a stakeholder consultative body for communication on issues related to the Nampyeong Agricultural-Industrial Complex on the 16th.

The Nampyeong Agricultural-Industrial Complex has been actively promoted since 2016 as part of the Nampyeong-eup small town development project initiated in 2008.

The scale of the agricultural-industrial complex is planned to be established with a total investment of 27.5 billion KRW, including 6.4 billion KRW from city funds and 21.1 billion KRW from private capital.

In particular, since the remanufacturing project was selected as a national government-supported project in September 2018, Naju City has been actively pursuing this project, starting with the signing of an agreement with the construction machinery parts remanufacturing business in June last year.

However, residents of the riverside city, concerned about noise and dust due to the proximity of the agricultural-industrial complex to a residential complex of 900 apartment units, have formed an opposition committee against the development of the agricultural-industrial complex and are conducting a signature campaign.

Candidate Shin Jeong-hoon said, "If the majority of residents oppose it, a process of communication and consultation from the perspective of local residents is necessary," adding, "I propose the formation of a consultative body involving Nampyeong-eup residents, Naju City, and stakeholders regarding the development of the Nampyeong Agricultural-Industrial Complex, and I will strive to devise measures through communication with residents."
