[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Sangju City in Gyeongbuk announced on the 26th that it has formed a 'Treasure Trove TF Team' (Team Leader Kim Si-hong) consisting of 10 young public officials in their 20s and 30s to explore ways to revitalize major facilities and projects operated or planned by the city.

The TF team, which includes various job categories such as civil engineering and agriculture, as well as frontline township office staff, will conduct a basic survey on problematic facilities and projects by the end of August, and from September, will propose revitalization measures to transform these burdensome assets into treasure troves.

The TF team's inspection targets include a total of 46 locations covering facilities and projects. By region, there are 20 sites in the Nakdong River area, 6 in the city area, 8 in the Baekdudaegan area, and 12 in the Hamchang and Iancheon areas.

Before starting full-scale activities, the TF team gathered opinions from departments related to the facilities and on the 19th received a special lecture from Researcher Noh Doo-hyun of the Korea Public Autonomy Research Institute on setting efficient research directions, site visits, and management diagnosis techniques.

The first burdensome assets selected by the team are the Hyoja Jeong Jae-su Memorial Hall in Hwaseo-myeon and the Gonggeom Regional History Museum in Gonggeom-myeon. These facilities are meaningful places that showcase filial piety and agricultural culture but require revitalization measures due to low visitor numbers.

Sangju City explained that the operation of the TF team was triggered by Deputy Mayor Lim Hyun-sung, who took office on July 1, suggesting during departmental work reports that a comprehensive inspection and revitalization plan for Sangju's major facilities seemed necessary.

Mayor Kang Young-seok of Sangju said, "Concerns about the management and operation of major facilities are not new," adding, "If young public officials think about and discuss problems and improvement measures, it will not only help devise solutions but also help develop the capabilities of the staff."
