[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] The Gwangyang City Council began reviewing the 'next year's budget proposal' by standing committee from the 9th during the 294th regular session.

On the 9th, the General Affairs Committee conducted an on-site inspection of major project sites in preparation for the review of next year's budget proposal.

The visit was made to understand the current status of major project sites and to reflect the issues identified in the review of next year's budget proposal to strengthen its substance.

The committee visited cultural and artistic sites including the Gwangyang Art Warehouse, remodeled from the old grain warehouse into a cultural complex space; the Gwangyang Cultural City Project Group, which has been promoting cultural specialization projects since forming a task force in 2017; and the site planned for the construction of a training center to pass down the sound heritage of Jinwol Jeoneo fishing.

They then visited the seafood distribution center under construction in the Jungma Shared Reclaimed Land District, the comprehensive childcare support center scheduled to open in March next year, and the Youth Dream Center, a communication and exchange space for young people, to examine the feasibility of the projects and the appropriateness of the budget scale.

Choi Dae-won, chairman of the General Affairs Committee, said, "Before reviewing next year's budget proposal, we visited the major project sites in person to understand the projects and assess their feasibility," adding, "Given the uncertain outlook for local tax revenue due to COVID-19, we cannot afford to waste a single penny of tax money, so we plan to conduct a thorough budget review."
