[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 21st that it will promote a slate removal support project by receiving national funding to reduce health damage concerns among residents due to the aging of residential slate and the cost burden of disposal for farmers.
