Busan Gijang-gun Secures 500 Million KRW in Special Grants for the First Half of the Year
Applied for 4 Projects Worth 9.3 Billion to Ministry of the Interior and Safety, but Only 1 Project Accepted
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Busan Gijang-gun secured 500 million KRW in special grant funds for projects in the first half of this year.
Gijang-gun announced on the 18th that it requested 9.38 billion KRW in project funding for four special grant projects in the first half of this year from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety in July, but only one project was accepted.
The four projects originally applied for by Gijang-gun are the construction of the ‘Gijang Bitmulkkum Comprehensive Social Welfare Center,’ ‘Slope Safety Work at Jeonggwan Agricultural and Industrial Complex,’ ‘Road Construction from Cheolma Jangjeon 2 Bridge to Seondong, Geumjeong-gu,’ and ‘Urban Planning Road Construction between Cheonggang Bridge and Wansa Bridge in Gijang-eup.’
Oh Gyu-seok, the head of Gijang-gun, said, “It is embarrassing to secure the lowest level of special grant funds since the opening of Gijang-gun, but we will work harder to secure more funds.”
The special grant funds secured by Gijang-gun for local issues are for the ‘Urban Planning Road Construction between Cheonggang Bridge and Wansa Bridge in Gijang-eup,’ which serves as an access road and fire road that can connect to the nearby Donghae Nambu Line Gijang Station.
With the budget secured for this project, it is expected to alleviate traffic inconvenience in densely populated residential areas and promote balanced urban development, thereby contributing to the improvement of residents’ living environment.
