The city will strengthen cultural software and hardware by building the Sangju Municipal Library (Life Culture Center), Sangju Youth Marine Education Center, Inland Water Ornamental Fish Business Center, recording and translating about 15,000 classical items held by the Sangju Museum, excavating the Obongsan Tumuli, and hosting a comic festival, thereby discovering Sangju’s unique history and stories of its people.

Mayor Kang Young-seok requested at the report meeting, "While promoting various policies to recover the stagnant local livelihood economy, I ask all public officials to do their best with one heart so that this year can be the first year to make Sangju City shine as the 'Sang' (top) of 'Gyeongsang' based on perseverance and creative spirit."
