[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang County in Gyeongnam, announced on the 6th that he conducted on-site inspections of key projects, including the Geochang Traditional Market Youth Mall, to realize communication administration and successfully promote major pending projects.

Starting with the Geochang Traditional Market Youth Mall site scheduled to open this year, Mayor Gu visited major project sites such as the Eastern Region Agricultural Machinery Rental Office, conducting on-site inspections and encouraging the efforts of related personnel.

The project to create a complex youth mall within the Geochang Traditional Market utilizes vacant spaces inside the traditional market to establish 16 youth stores and shared spaces, providing customers with various food, sights, and entertainment. This aims to revitalize the traditional market and offer quality job creation opportunities for youth, with a total project cost of 1,854 million KRW invested over two years.

The Eastern Region Agricultural Machinery Rental Office is a campaign promise of Mayor Gu to overcome the severe labor shortage in rural areas caused by aging farming populations and population decline. It operates four rental offices, including the main Agricultural Technology Center.

Gu In-mo, mayor of Geochang County, said, “As this project is directly related to improving the quality of life of residents and the local economy, I ask for thorough promotion. Regarding the extension of social distancing to level 2, I ask for broad understanding that it is inevitably necessary to protect the lives of residents.”

Geochang County plans to complete the establishment and operation of five regional centers by 2022 in the southern region, which will lay the foundation for mechanized farming. It is expected to contribute to reducing agricultural management costs and increasing income by providing convenience to farmers.
