In particular, through the Sejong office, the county plans to communicate organically with central government ministries, making every effort to explain project feasibility and budget securing directions, and will devote all administrative power to ensure smooth progress of administrative procedures in advance to secure the national budget.

County Governor Kim Cheol-woo requested, “Although it is expected to take a long time for the economy to recover from the COVID-19 recession, please work to stably secure the budget for major policy projects that will lead the future development of Boseong in 2021 and revitalize the regional economy.”
