At the meeting, presided over by Mayor Kang In-gyu and attended by heads of various bureaus and departments, they focused on discussing measures to secure annual national and provincial funding for the smooth promotion of ongoing projects and the discovery of new pending projects linked to national policy projects.

The city plans to submit the final project proposal, including 78 major national treasury support pending projects worth 979.3 billion KRW for 2022 and additional projects discovered after the meeting, to Jeollanam-do by the end of this year.

Among these, 34 new national treasury projects worth 194.4 billion KRW were included, such as 'Seokginae Natural Disaster Risk Improvement District Maintenance' (24.7 billion KRW), 'Daehodistrict Public Parking Lot Construction' (5.8 billion KRW), 'Old Water Pipeline Maintenance' (16 billion KRW), 'Bitgaram Public Sewage Treatment Facility Expansion' (12 billion KRW), and 'Rural Living Area Revitalization Project' (42.9 billion KRW) aimed at improving residents' living conditions.

They also discovered numerous projects for improving living convenience and tourism resources, including 'Installation of Suspension Bridge Crossing Najuho Trail' (15 billion KRW), 'Installation of Gyeonghyeondong Hansuje Skywalk' (1.9 billion KRW), 'Tourism Resource Development of Daehosu Waterfront Park' (1.6 billion KRW), 'Creation of Nam-pyeong Wolhyeondae Mountain Trail' (2 billion KRW), and 'Creation of Geumseongsan Ecological Forest Campground' (3 billion KRW).

The city plans to thoroughly promote other pending projects, including eight energy sector projects worth 189.5 billion KRW aimed at realizing the vision of Korea's Energy Capital, which are ongoing projects.

Additionally, they will actively seek ways to link and promote the five leading policy tasks that took their first steps this year?such as Yeongsangang River ecological restoration, designation of Geumseongsan Provincial Park, establishment of a metropolitan railway network between Gwangju-Naju (Mokpo), relocation of LG Chem Naju Plant within the jurisdiction, and restoration of Mahan history?as next national agenda items and national treasury pending projects.

Mayor Kang In-gyu said, "For national treasury projects, it is crucial to thoroughly complete preliminary procedures such as basic plan establishment and investment review, and to develop reasonable arguments on why the project should be reflected in central government departments' projects. Along with discovering new projects, I hope ongoing projects are also promoted fairly and without delay to avoid penalties on national treasury support due to carryover."
