[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Cheon-seok] Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 4th that it was selected as an excellent institution for two consecutive years in the 2020 Local Finance Best Practices Evaluation hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety on the 31st of last month.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety reviewed 255 best practice cases submitted by local governments nationwide in areas such as expenditure reduction and revenue increase, selecting a total of 35 cases. Boseong-gun was the only one in Jeollanam-do to be selected as a best practice and will receive a special grant of 100 million won.

Boseong-gun submitted the "Boseong 600, Our Neighborhood We Cultivate" project, which was promoted as a key policy in 2020, as a case.

The project received high marks for involving village residents directly in improving living conditions, which not only reduced labor costs but also created communal village income and realized resident-led administration.

Governor Kim Cheol-woo said, "Although last year was difficult due to COVID-19, I worked harder to secure project funds by going back and forth between central government departments and the National Assembly to ensure that pending projects could proceed without setbacks," adding, "This year, we will lead changes that residents can feel through sound budget management."

Meanwhile, Boseong-gun secured the largest-ever national and local government grants in 2021 and will actively promote the 3 major SOC projects and 5 New Deal initiatives.
