Gokseong-gun Launches Ceremony for Creating the Clean Jeonnam Prime Village... Project Kicks Off

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do, announced the official start of the Clean Jeonnam Eutteum Village project by attending the 'Clean Jeonnam Eutteum Village Pan-Provincial Launch Ceremony' held in Jeonnam Province on the 30th.

The launch ceremony was hosted by Jeonnam Province to celebrate the selection of 1,000 villages in Jeonnam as Clean Jeonnam Eutteum Villages.

Gokseong-gun had 50 villages apply for this Clean Jeonnam Eutteum Village project, and finally, 46 villages were selected. The selected villages will receive 3 million KRW annually for three years, totaling 9 million KRW, as village development project funds.

The projects to be promoted in the 46 villages of Gokseong-gun include flowerbed creation in 37 villages, mural painting in 5 villages, and others in 4 villages.

Village development is meaningful as it not only improves the residential environment but also opens the era of resident autonomy by having residents directly plan, prepare, and execute joint village projects.

Jeonnam Province plans to designate a total of 3,000 villages as Clean Jeonnam Eutteum Villages from this year through 2025. The total budget required is 27 billion KRW (10.8 billion KRW from provincial funds, 16.2 billion KRW from city and county funds).

In line with Jeonnam Province's plan, the county has set a goal to designate about 150 villages as Clean Jeonnam Eutteum Villages by 2025.

The budget required is 450 million KRW (180 million KRW from provincial funds, 270 million KRW from county funds).

In particular, the county plans to systematically and thoroughly establish the 'Gokseong-gun Promotion Team' and 'Village Promotion Group' to immediately resolve on-site difficulties arising from project implementation.

Yoo Geun-gi (Chairman of the Jeonnam Mayors and Governors Association), the county governor, urged residents' active participation in his congratulatory speech at the launch ceremony, saying, "Creating Clean Jeonnam Eutteum Villages is not the completion but the beginning of restoring village communities."
