Inje County Office

[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Inje-gun, Gangwon-do, is pushing to register Girin Traditional Market as a formally recognized permanent market.

Inje-gun stated on the 25th, "Girin Traditional Market has been operating as a non-permanent market similar to a local five-day market for over 60 years," and added, "The county has officially begun preparations to register it as a formally recognized market to facilitate systematic maintenance projects and attract various national subsidy programs."

To improve the poor conditions of Girin Traditional Market, the county revised the 'Ordinance for the Promotion of Traditional Markets and Shopping Districts' in September last year, establishing a legal basis. It is expected that Girin Traditional Market will complete the registration process as a formally recognized market as early as the first half of this year.

Inje-gun completed a status and on-site survey of the planned area for Girin Traditional Market in mid-this month and plans to collect residents' opinions through public notice and inspection of the planned traditional market area in Girin-myeon until the 3rd of next month.

Once Girin Traditional Market is registered as a permanent market, the county plans to attract various public contest projects such as management improvement, facility modernization, fire safety management, and market manager projects, which are national subsidy programs aimed at revitalizing the local commercial district.
