Assemblyman Shin Jeong-hoon Secures 1.4 Billion KRW Special Local Tax from Ministry of Interior and Safety for Second Half of Year

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Congressman Shin Jeong-hoon (Naju·Hwasun, Jeollanam-do) announced on the 7th that he secured 1.4 billion KRW in special grants from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety for local projects in Naju City and Hwasun County, Jeollanam-do.

With this special grant from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, local projects such as the construction of the Naju Energy-ICT Convergence Knowledge Industry Center (500 million KRW), the expansion and paving of Rural Road No. 103 in Wanggok-myeon, Naju City (300 million KRW), and the installation of processing equipment at the Hwasun Fisheries Food Industry Hub Complex (600 million KRW) are expected to proceed smoothly.

The Naju Energy-ICT Knowledge Industry Center is planned to be built on a site area of 13,264㎡ with a total floor area of 14,200㎡, consisting of one basement floor and four above-ground floors, with a total project cost of 26.1 billion KRW. It aims to revitalize the Naju Innovation Industrial Complex and expand the base of the energy-ICT industry by providing 25 rental-type industrial facilities (factory-type) to small and medium-sized enterprises related to the new energy industry in the second half of 2022.

Previously, Congressman Shin secured 4.05 billion KRW in national funds for next year's budget for the Naju Energy-ICT Knowledge Industry Center.

As a result, Rural Road No. 103, which connects City Road No. 38 in Wolcheon-ri, Wanggok-myeon, Naju City to National Road No. 23, is expected to alleviate the inconvenience of residents and students by improving the route alignment on the bus route passing by an elementary school.

The fisheries food hub complex in Jeongnam-ri, Neungju-myeon, Hwasun County is being developed on a scale of 31,060㎡ with a total investment of 14 billion KRW, including 7 billion KRW in national funds.

Hwasun County, which has no coastline, is transforming a pig farming complex into a fisheries complex to solve environmental issues while promoting fisheries development projects to create new income sources and a sixth industry model in rural areas. The securing of this special grant significantly reduces the county's financial burden.

Congressman Shin Jeong-hoon said, “I expect that the special grants will be a great help in resolving local issues and projects for residents' safety that have not been properly addressed due to poor financial conditions,” and added, “I will continue to do my best to secure national funds for the promotion of pending issues and residents' wishes through ongoing consultations with Naju City and Hwasun County.”

Meanwhile, to resolve local issues, Congressman Shin secured a total of 4.77 billion KRW in special grants this year, including 700 million KRW in August for the expansion of the Naju City Health Center annex, 500 million KRW for disaster risk slope maintenance in Geumseong District, Naju City, 800 million KRW for the development of the Chunyang local water intake in Hwasun County, and 1.373 billion KRW last month for the construction of the Nam-pyeong Gwangnamgyo Gymnasium.
