[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 14th that it received the Excellence Award at the ‘2020 Provincial Regulatory Innovation Competition’ conducted non-face-to-face by Gyeongnam Province.

The ‘2020 Provincial Regulatory Innovation Competition,’ hosted by Gyeongnam Province, invited outstanding cases in the fields of public regulation and regulatory innovation from 18 cities and counties within the province. After strict evaluations including document review, online voting, and presentation judging, 15 outstanding cases were selected and awarded.

Among them, Geochang-gun, which received the Excellence Award, presented a case where a lodging facility in Daepyeong-ri, Geochang-eup, that had been left unused for 10 years was converted into public rental housing, thereby reducing the housing burden on young people and contributing to an increase in the youth population. This presentation received high praise.

Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang-gun, said, “We will continue to actively discover and improve regulations affecting residents’ daily lives to alleviate the inconveniences faced by residents who are suffering greatly due to COVID-19, and we will strive even harder to revitalize the local economy.”
