Song Guigun, Goheung County Governor, "Achieving the Future Vision 1·3·0 Plan Early for a Happier Goheung"

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Song Guigun, the governor of Goheung County, announced on the 23rd that the "1 trillion won budget era" during his term is approaching, in line with his plan to create an era of a 1 trillion won budget in the first year of the 7th local government, a per capita income of 30 million won for residents, and zero population decline rate.

In his policy speech at the 2nd regular session of the 293rd Goheung County Council held that day, Governor Song emphasized, "Since the launch of the 7th local government, we have set the goal called the 'Future Vision 1·3·0 Plan' and have devoted all our efforts to achieving goals in various fields, including the development of agriculture, fisheries, and livestock industries, tourism promotion, population attraction, and residents' income."

Goheung County secured 322 billion won in projects through public contests from central government ministries and Jeollanam-do Province over about two years of the 7th local government, securing 140.2 billion won more in public contest project budgets than the same period during the 6th local government.

Governor Song Guigun self-assessed, "We have taken the lead in pioneering overseas markets to expand sales channels for agricultural and marine products and have made various efforts, including signing annual purchase agreements worth 10 billion won with major domestic supermarkets."

He continued, "We have worked to provide customized welfare services centered on socially vulnerable groups and to resolve inconveniences in residents' lives," explaining achievements such as "expanding and opening the Doyang Bukchon urban planning road after 35 years and completely renovating three roads that had long caused inconvenience to residents' passage."

During the 7th local government, the population influx of return-to-farming, return-to-village, and return-to-hometown residents into Goheung reached the size of about one myeon (township), and according to the central government's official announcement last June, Goheung County was evaluated as the city/county with the highest number of urban residents returning to farming last year.

Governor Song stated, "I will make 2021 the year to achieve the Future Vision 1·3·0 Plan, the goal of the 7th local government, ahead of schedule," and presented the five major policies of "Goheung Plus" to realize this concretely.

The five major policies of Goheung Plus are ◆‘Income Plus’ to focus on fostering agriculture, fisheries, and livestock industries to increase residents' real income ◆‘Attraction Plus’ to advance the era of 10 million tourists to Goheung ◆‘Warmth Plus’ to realize more meticulous and warm customized welfare ◆‘Vitality Plus’ to create livable residential conditions and challenge zero population decline rate in Goheung ◆‘Trust Plus’ to work together with residents and carry out administration trusted by residents.

Meanwhile, to support the five policy areas of next year's "Goheung Plus" presented earlier, Goheung County submitted a 2021 budget proposal to the county council, increasing it by 8.8% from this year's original budget to 712 billion won.
