[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, will support local residents who are struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic by providing Sancheong Love Gift Certificates worth 100,000 KRW per resident.

The county announced on the 11th that from the 14th, applications for the Sancheong-type emergency disaster relief fund will be accepted at each eup and myeon office.

First, for the convenience of residents, from the 14th to the 18th, responsible officials will visit households directly to accept applications in person.

Residents who are unable to apply during the on-site application period can visit the eup or myeon office in person to apply from the 19th to February 5th.

The required budget is approximately 3.5 billion KRW, and efforts will be made to expedite the process so that payments can be made before the Lunar New Year holiday.

The funding for this emergency disaster relief comes from budget savings due to the cancellation or reduction of various festivals, events, and the county council training last year.

The support target is residents registered in Sancheong-gun as of December 31, 2020, and who currently have an address in Sancheong-gun at the time of application.

County Governor Lee Jae-geun stated, “I hope this Sancheong-type emergency disaster relief fund will comfort our residents and help quickly revitalize the local economy. Through the Sancheong Love Gift Certificates, we will create a virtuous cycle structure where consumption and revenue occur within our region, building a happy Sancheong that we all share.”

Sancheong-gun plans to promote and encourage the use of the issued gift certificates so that they are fully spent within this year.
