[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 30th, Seochunsoo, the mayor of Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam, expressed infinite gratitude to the residents who wholeheartedly supported "Good Morning Jirisan, Hamyang" and announced a New Year's address.

Despite the difficult conditions due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the county devoted itself to revitalizing the local economy, achieving the national best performance in rapid fiscal execution in the first half of the year, along with the highest employment rate increase in Gyeongnam and the third nationwide.

Hamyang-gun's urban regeneration project also received honors in four categories, including the grand prize, at the 2020 Korea Urban Regeneration Industry Expo.

As the first in the nation, Hamyang-gun successfully promoted the Seohacho Elementary School Aitopia project and the Rural Utopia project, planting new hope in agriculture and rural areas.

SOC projects for residents' convenience, such as the opening of the Seohamyang Hi-Pass IC, were steadily completed.

With the full-scale construction of Coupang's logistics center, a leading domestic e-commerce company, Hamyang is expected to gain momentum in attracting eco-friendly companies by highlighting its geographical advantages.

Mayor Seo said, "This year is a very important time to concretize or complete the projects we have been promoting one by one and to create new growth engines to develop into a central city in the southern inland region in the long term."

He added, "First, we will lead the successful hosting of the '2021 Hamyang Wild Ginseng Anti-Aging Expo,' which is the hope of all of us. We will hold an expo that serves as a model for the post-COVID era and attract the attention of people worldwide," expressing his ambition.

Finally, Mayor Seo concluded his New Year's address by saying, "Through synergy effects linked with the Anti-Aging Distribution Center and the Wild Ginseng Auction Hall, we will establish Hamyang as the 'Home of Wild Ginseng.' We promise to wisely overcome today's crisis and changing trends by accurately grasping them and to always make efforts with the 'determination and passion as if it were the first time' to connect this with regional development."

In the new year, all 600 public officials of Hamyang-gun once again pledged to do their best to create a new Hamyang with the sense of mission that "the residents are the owners."
