Kim Cheol-woo, Boseong County Governor, Visits National Assembly to Promote New Projects

Meeting with National Assembly Member Kim Seung-nam to Discuss Healing Forest Complex and Tidal Flat Restoration Project

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Cheon-seok] On the 25th, Kim Cheol-woo, the governor of Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do, visited the office of Kim Seung-nam, the local district member of the National Assembly, to explain the feasibility of new projects and discuss joint response measures.

On this day, Governor Kim shared the necessity and promotion plans for projects including ▲Bonghwasan pilot project for an energy self-sufficient mountain natural healing tourism forest complex (40 billion KRW), ▲Beolgyo tidal flat restoration project (18 billion KRW), and ▲designation of Boseong Yulpo Port as a national fishing port.

The Bonghwasan pilot project for an energy self-sufficient mountain natural healing tourism forest complex consists of ▲creating a mountain-type natural healing tourism forest complex, ▲establishing a forest energy self-sufficient village, and ▲developing a pilot forest management complex. It is a sixth industry-linked project that utilizes forest resources and forest industry as tourism resources, and by forming an energy self-sufficient village, it is expected to realize the Green New Deal in the forestry sector.

Additionally, the Beolgyo tidal flat restoration project aims to restore the tidal flat ecosystem in Jangam-ri and Jangdo areas of Beolgyo-eup. Due to global warming and environmental changes, the diversity of the tidal flat ecosystem has decreased, so this project protects halophytic plant communities and installs waterfront facilities to preserve the tidal flat ecosystem.

The designation of Yulpo Port as a national fishing port is a long-cherished project of Boseong-gun. Since its designation as a local fishing port in 1972, facility improvement rates have been low, and the port facilities are narrow, making it highly vulnerable to maritime accidents during typhoon invasions, thus large-scale investment is urgently needed.

The county is actively responding to the designation of the national fishing port by conducting feasibility studies and development plan establishment services for the designation of the national fishing port.

Governor Kim Cheol-woo said, “We will closely communicate and actively cooperate with National Assembly member Kim Seung-nam to solve long-standing projects desired by local residents and actively attract future-oriented projects that can be responsible for the next generation.”

Meanwhile, on this day, Governor Kim also met with National Assembly members Seo Sam-seok, Song Gap-seok, and Yoon Jae-gap to express gratitude for their active efforts to ensure that the government’s first supplementary budget, which includes comprehensive support for agricultural and fishery management vouchers, manpower, funds, and support measures for small business owners, can be approved by the National Assembly amid difficulties caused by COVID-19.
