Obstruction of Relocation of Land Safety Management Institute Training Center... "Contrary to National Balanced Development Policy"

Gyeongnam Jinju Provincial Assembly Member Says Moving Education Center Undermines Administrative Trust, Sets Bad Precedent

Provincial councilors from the Jinju area held a press conference on the 15th opposing the relocation of the National Land Safety Management Institute's training center to Gimcheon.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Provincial assembly members from Jinju area in Gyeongsangnam-do have taken action to prevent the relocation of the Land Safety Management Agency's training center from Gyeongnam Innovation City to Gimcheon.

On the 15th, four provincial assembly members?Jang Gyuseok, Yoo Gyehyun, Kim Jinbu, and Lee Youngsil?held a press conference at Jinju City Hall briefing room, stating, "In October last year, it was decided to relocate the Land Safety Management Agency's training center to Jinju, where the headquarters is located, but less than a month later, in November, a revised plan was submitted to move the training center to Gimcheon, which is fueling conflict between the Gyeongnam and Gyeongbuk regions."

They continued, "Accommodation and commercial facilities were planned for the convenience of trainees at the Land Safety Management Agency's training center, but if the center is relocated, it will severely undermine administrative trust among small business owners and run counter to the national balanced development policy."

They further demanded, "The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport should take the lead in devising a plan for mutual coexistence between Gyeongsangnam-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do, and request the National Balanced Development Committee to postpone its review."

Previously, the Land Safety Management Agency was established in Gyeongnam Innovation City on December 10 last year through the integration of the Korea Facility Safety Corporation in Chungmugong-dong, Jinju City, and the Korea Construction Management Corporation in Gimcheon City.

Since there was no suitable site in Gyeongnam Innovation City, the Land Safety Management Agency planned to set up its headquarters at the talent training center and is promoting a plan to relocate the training center to Gimcheon City, where a public institution was abolished.
