The support measures include ▲ reduction of rental fees for public properties managed by the city ▲ tax support for small business owners and traditional markets, activation of online marketing, expansion of support projects for improving the management environment of small business owners ▲ promotion of consumption atmosphere through additional issuance of Changwon Love Gift Certificates, large-scale discount events at Jeonpo Traditional Market, etc. ▲ a total of 8 projects worth 8.8 billion KRW including requests for national funds for local tax reductions for damaged businesses and support for quarantine expenses.

Mayor Heo Seong-mu said, “We will strive to minimize the damage to small business owners in this difficult economic situation and to overcome the COVID-19 crisis early.”
