Damyang-gun, Swift Execution of 176 Billion KRW in H1 to Revive Local Economy

[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Damyang County, Jeonnam, is actively responding to the frozen local economy caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic through rapid fiscal execution.

The county announced on the 5th that it held a progress plan briefing session on major pending projects and carryover projects on the 4th to ensure rapid execution of this year's budget.

At the briefing, 19 departments revealed plans to focus on rapidly executing 60%, or 176 billion KRW, of the targeted projects in the first half of the year to recover the local economy, which has been depressed due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

This year, large-scale projects such as the construction of the Damyang Youth Culture House, modernization of Damyang Market, establishment of the National Korean Garden Culture Center, and creation of the Dambit Outdoor Music Park will be actively promoted, along with the construction of the Youth Startup Support Center, modernization of high-quality rice processing facilities, urban regeneration living SOC projects, construction of the Industrial Complex Multipurpose Community Center, and local job projects.

At the same time, the county plans to swiftly carry out harbor improvement restoration and district unit restoration projects early in the year to prevent flood damage, which occurred due to COVID-19 and unprecedented heavy rains last year, thereby establishing a foundation for flood damage prevention.

The county intends to establish monthly and weekly plans and conduct situation checks to quickly resolve any issues in project implementation and proceed with more systematic fiscal execution.

Deputy County Governor Kim Youngshin stated, “We will devote all efforts to rapid execution to proactively and preemptively respond to climate change and the post-COVID-19 era and actively promote the Damyang-style Green New Deal policy.”
