[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City (Mayor Heo Seok) announced that the traffic island at Sangsam Intersection in Haeryong-myeon has been selected for the "Local Finance Forest Creation Project" promoted by the Korea Local Finance Association, and will create a 'Local Finance Forest' covering approximately 2,000㎡ by October.

The selected 'Local Finance Forest' is a project implemented by the Korea Local Finance Association as part of its social contribution efforts to create a pleasant environment within urban areas.

This year, four institutions including Suncheon City, Boryeong City in Chungnam, Inje County in Gangwon Province, and Seo-gu in Incheon Metropolitan City were selected, with a project budget of 100 million KRW per site.

Suncheon City plans to create a 'Local Finance Forest' that harmonizes well with Wellbeing-ro, which is used by citizens, in line with the image of the ecological city Suncheon, by collecting opinions from nearby residents by October.

A Suncheon City official stated, "This project is a good model of cooperation between private organizations and the administration to promote the Ten Million Trees Planting Project," and added, "We will do our best to create a garden city together with the Ten Million Trees Planting Citizens' Movement Headquarters and the Jeonnam Forest Association."
