[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) announced on the 15th that with the passage of 165.8 billion won in government budget through the National Assembly as a major priority project in 2021, it is expected to greatly contribute to creating a foundation for residents to live well, job creation for income generation, and revitalization of the local economy next year.

In particular, the county is doing its best to promote next year's national treasury projects through swift preparation as several projects that were not reflected in the government proposal during the National Assembly review process were newly included.

Looking at the major reflected projects, 63.5 billion won was included in the government proposal for SOC projects such as the state direct project of the Jido~Imja connecting road construction, followed by 400 million won allocated for the installation of a pedestrian walkway on the Cheonsa Bridge (total project cost 30 billion won), and 350 million won for design service fees for the construction of the National Salt Industry Promotion Research Center (total project cost 10 billion won), which is expected to further boost the county's core industry, the solar salt industry.

Additionally, 1.5 billion won was newly allocated for the creation of a fine dust blocking forest around the rural waste treatment plant in Jaeun-myeon, Sinan-gun, transforming it into a space where life breathes, and 30 million won was allocated for the construction of the Jaeun Police Substation of the Mokpo Police Station, contributing to the safety and quality of life of the residents.

Although recently hindered by environmental issues, 6.9 billion won was secured for the construction of the Heuksando small airport project, which is gaining expectations for project promotion due to the possibility of lifting the national park designation, opening an air route for residents and tourists in the Heuksan area.

Furthermore, separate from the National Assembly budget, the Fishermen's Village New Deal 300 public offering project, which has been underway since last year, selected a total of 7 sites including ports with 27.6 billion won for the 2021 project, following the existing 13 sites with 113.9 billion won, continuing efforts to improve residents' safety and living conditions.

Governor Park Woo-ryang expressed gratitude to “all those who helped secure the budget, including staff, Jeollanam-do, and local National Assembly members,” and stated, “We will carefully examine what projects residents need and strive to ensure that all projects we promote become innovative investments looking ahead 100 years.”
