[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] On the 20th, Heo Seong-mu, Mayor of Changwon City, held the ‘2020 Departmental Work Goals Second Half Major Strategy Report Meeting’ at the city administration meeting room.

Mayor Heo stated, “Achieving departmental work goals is the primer for this year’s administrative objectives, a will to open a new Changwon, and a responsibility that must be fulfilled.”

This report meeting was organized to strengthen the driving force for city administration operations in the second half of the year to realize this year’s administrative goal of ‘Great Leap and Great Innovation,’ and to review the progress of departmental work goals delayed due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and discuss strategies for achieving the goals.

All heads of offices, bureaus, and divisions attended the meeting, selecting one core goal per department, reporting a total of 73 cases.

First, the Planning and Budget Office exceeded its target by 8%, achieving a city administration satisfaction rate of 70.3%.

The Economic and Job Bureau actively tackled the crisis by achieving the goal of issuing 100 billion KRW worth of Changwon Love Gift Certificates and investing 413.4 billion KRW in the Changwon-type Emergency Economic Measures. However, a 10% increase in consumer sales is expected to be difficult to achieve due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

The Smart Innovation Industry Bureau achieved 75% of its established goals, including discovering 21 core strategic projects and attracting research institutions.

The Environment and City Bureau implemented fine dust countermeasures, Masan Bay environmental policies, and improved ultrafine dust concentration.

The Autonomous Administration Bureau reported a roadmap for realizing the special-status city, and the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau announced plans for creating a cultural city with stories and the new construction and expansion of three sports facilities.

Mayor Heo urged, “This year is the first year for the next 10 years of Changwon’s future and an important period to lay the foundation for a great leap. Please proceed with the work at a rapid pace so that the projects targeted by departments, including the realization of the Changwon special-status city, can proceed without any setbacks.”
