Imsil-gun Launches Full-Scale Rural New Vitality Plus Project

Imsil-gun is set to fully launch the Rural New Vitality Plus project, a core model for community-centered regional development.

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Imsil County announced on the 29th that it will fully launch the Rural New Vitality Plus Project, a core model for resident-centered regional development.

The Imsil County Rural New Vitality Plus Project was selected in last year's Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs contest. It is a project that builds a foundation for regional self-reliant development by utilizing local resources and private organizations to advance local industries such as the cheese industry and regional development projects, and by fostering social economy organizations through the discovery of human resources.

After being selected in the contest, the county commissioned a basic plan establishment service last year, but temporarily suspended the service due to the implementation of social distancing caused by COVID-19.

However, with the transition to everyday distancing, the service was resumed, and preparations for full-scale project promotion were completed, including confirming the promotion committee, appointing the promotion team leader and secretariat, and completing the personnel organization.

To this end, the county recently held a promotion committee meeting for the efficient promotion of the Rural New Vitality Plus Project at the Imsil-eup Happiness Sharing Center, attended by County Governor Sim Min, the promotion team leader of the New Vitality Plus Project, promotion committee members, and related officials.

The promotion committee appointed Vice County Governor Jo Hoil and New Vitality Plus Promotion Team Leader Hong Seongeok as co-chairmen. In addition, a total of 12 promotion committee members were formed, including Imsil County Council member Hwang Ilgwon and representatives of local private organizations.

They serve as the highest decision-making body responsible for approving detailed plans of the New Vitality Plus Project and deciding on project investment.

This project, which will be promoted over four years until 2022, plans to establish basic and implementation plans by August and invest a total of 7 billion KRW through final approval by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs with advice from the central planning support group.

County Governor Sim Min said, "Through the New Vitality Plus Project, we will further nurture Imsil N Cheese, which has successfully established itself as a brand, as a regional self-reliance model," and added, "We will develop the Imsil N Cheese industry centered on the private sector to revitalize the local economy and lay the foundation for the leap forward of Imsil County."
