Accordingly, the county has enabled the expansion of infrastructure and improvement of living convenience for residents by receiving national funds for various projects in agriculture, sports, and welfare sectors.


In particular, the Family Center is a facility applied for through a public contest to perform the family service hub function in line with the government's expansion of life SOC complex facilities. It will integrate national and public daycare centers, community care centers, cooperative childcare sharing spaces, healthy family services, and multicultural family support centers to provide comprehensive family-related services.



Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang-gun, said, “Due to the impact of COVID-19, domestic and international economic downturns and a decrease in national taxes are expected to reduce next year’s local allocation tax. As securing national and provincial funds becomes more important, we will strive to secure dependent resources so that the county’s pending projects can proceed smoothly.”
