Choi Hyung-sik, Damyang County Governor, Participates in the Good Rent Movement Challenge

[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Choi Hyung-sik, the mayor of Damyang County, has launched a campaign to spread the Good Rent Movement to support small business owners facing management difficulties.

On the 16th, Damyang County in Jeollanam-do announced that Mayor Choi Hyung-sik participated in the 'Good Rent Movement Spread' challenge promoted by the National Association of Mayors, County Governors, and District Heads.

The Good Rent Movement Spread Challenge, also known as the 'Good Rent Challenge,' is a campaign initiated by local governments to promote the government's rent support policy and to establish (착지) and spread (챌린지) the Good Rent Movement.

The government is implementing a policy that provides up to a 70% tax credit to 'Good Landlords' who reduce rent. The county also provides additional benefits by reducing property tax (building portion).

However, participation in the Good Rent Movement remains low, and small business owners continue to face difficulties. In this situation, local government heads hope to strengthen government policies and gain public sympathy through the challenge.

Mayor Choi Hyung-sik stated, "We are doing our best to promote local economic revitalization policies tailored to the local situation, such as interest subsidy projects for loans to small business owners suffering from COVID-19 and vacant store rental projects," adding, "I hope that through the spread of the Good Rent Movement, the local community will unite and wisely overcome the COVID-19 crisis."
