[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jo Eun-hee, Mayor of Seocho District, stated, "We will protect the health and lives of our residents through thorough COVID-19 response measures. We will continue to upgrade our screening clinics, which are currently among the best in the nation, and enhance our epidemiological investigation capabilities to swiftly block the spread of COVID-19."


In her 2021 New Year's address, Mayor Jo said, "Although the threats of COVID-19 and the economic crisis will continue this year, we will confidently and steadfastly carry out district administration to turn this crisis into an opportunity. We will promote the '7 Core Projects that Protect My Life Happily' to open a bright future for Seocho."


Second, we will actively respond to climate and environmental changes. We plan to operate the Green Seocho Project vigorously, which includes creating wind forest paths to reduce fine dust, expanding green spaces in daily life, and managing indoor air quality in multi-use facilities within the district.


Third, we will further strengthen the social safety net for vulnerable groups. We will personally visit and visually confirm to ensure no blind spots occur in the welfare support system. Additionally, we will protect the local economy steadily through various support policies for small and medium-sized enterprises and small business owners. We also pledged to promote a nationwide standard policy for single-person households.


Fourth, efforts to make Seocho a "good place to have and raise children" will continue in 2021. We will continue to expand public and national daycare centers, which have been a focus since the 6th local government term, increasing from the current 84 to over 100 this year. At the same time, we will expand "shared daycare centers" to dramatically improve childcare conditions.


Fifth, we will implement high-quality cultural and artistic policies to enhance Seocho's dignity and pride. We also plan to promote the construction of the Bangbae Forest Library to complete the establishment of district libraries by region.


Sixth, for Seocho's 100-year future, we will actively promote the three-dimensional development project of the Gyeongbu Expressway, the installation of the GTX transfer center, and the construction of the new Seocho District Office building.



Seventh, we will actively pursue property tax reductions and do our best to alleviate the burden of holding taxes.
