Yoo Jin-seop, Mayor of Jeongeup, Delivers Vision Message for the Second Half of the 7th Elected Term Administration

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jae-gil] On the 1st, Yoo Jin-seop, mayor of Jeongeup City, Jeonbuk, delivered a message to the staff about the direction Jeongeup city administration should take in the second half of the 7th local government term through a broadcast within Jeongeup City Hall, marking the 2nd anniversary of the 7th local government term.

Jeongeup City originally planned to hold a 2nd anniversary ceremony for the 7th local government term at the Jeongeupsa Arts Center on the 1st.

However, due to the occurrence of COVID-19 confirmed cases in the region and ongoing public anxiety and concerns, the ceremony was canceled to thoroughly block community spread and stabilize public opinion.

Through the broadcast within the city hall on that day, Mayor Yoo presented the direction for Jeongeup city administration in the second half of the 7th local government term and prepared a meaningful time to reaffirm a vigorous start and greater leap forward.

First, he expressed deep gratitude and sympathy for the hard work of the staff who have been tirelessly responding to COVID-19 and performing their original duties since January.

He also urged to respond swiftly and seek speedy and creative administrative operation plans in accordance with the flow of the times in the new daily life changed by COVID-19.

Mayor Yoo plans to focus on preparing for the post-COVID-19 era in the second half of the 7th local government term, as well as steadily promoting current projects and pledged projects and discovering future growth engines.

In particular, he pointed out the creation of ‘Fragrance Republic Jeongeup’ as the most important project to be promoted in the second half.

As the ecological tourism industry combining healing and recovery is expected to gain more attention in the post-COVID-19 era, the policy is to catch two rabbits?securing regional identity and revitalizing the economy?through establishing a fragrance city foundation and fostering the fragrance industry.

Along with this, starting with the promotion of the JB Training Center construction, the foundation for a city where people stay and enjoy, rather than just pass through, is being actively established as hotels and accommodation facilities secure the stay infrastructure.

Furthermore, if the creative Yongsanho Fountain and surrounding projects proceed smoothly, they are expected to play a significant role as a new tourism revitalization source.

Mayor Yoo said, “Based on the strength of Jeongeup that shone even more in crisis, we want to move forward again, more vigorously,” and added, “I will devote myself to the greater leap of Jeongeup in the second half of the 7th local government term, recalling the initial heart at the time of inauguration.”
