Hampyeong-gun Promotes Gas Facility Improvement Project for Vulnerable Groups

[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong-eup, Hampyeong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 19th that it will actively promote a gas facility improvement project targeting vulnerable groups in the area exposed to fire risks due to aging gas facilities.
