[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Busan Gijang-gun has applied for a special grant of 300 million KRW for local pending projects, separate from the regular special grants, following the designation of Gijang-eup and Ilgwang-myeon, which suffered significant damage from the typhoon, as special disaster zones on September 23.


Gijang-gun, which sustained heavy damage from consecutive typhoons, is expected to receive 5.3 billion KRW in national funds for disaster damage restoration projects, and plans to secure an additional 300 million KRW in special grants to address urgent local issues.


The special grant for local pending projects applied for by Gijang-gun is for the opening of a district unit plan road in Maji Village, Cheolma-myeon, which will be used to alleviate traffic inconvenience and promote balanced regional development.



A Gijang-gun official stated, “The prolonged COVID-19 pandemic combined with typhoon damage has made it difficult to advance pending projects, but securing national funds due to the designation as a special disaster zone along with the allocation of special grants will greatly help in project implementation.”
