[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Cheon-seok] Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Cheol-woo) announced on the 7th that it will officially launch the ‘Boseong600’ project, meaning ‘Our Neighborhood, We Cultivate Boseong600,’ starting tomorrow.

The Boseong600 project is a resident-participatory village cultivation initiative where residents themselves nurture all 600 natural villages in Boseong-gun. It is the first of its kind nationwide, and following last year, 272 villages will participate again this year.

Looking at distinctive projects by eup and myeon, they include ▶ Sansuyu Street creation in Boseong-eup, ▶ Pinwheel Road in Beolgyo-eup, ▶ Lilyturf Flower Road creation in Boknae-myeon, ▶ Village cultivating durup in Deukryang-myeon, ▶ Geumhwagyu Street in Hoecheon-myeon, and ▶ Myungjanamu Village in Ungchi-myeon.

In particular, villages planning to plant income crops such as durup, bellflower root, and peony are aiming for a twofold effect by planning to sell these crops as a joint income for the village.

Since September last year, the county has been conducting project consulting, holding several meetings with village heads and residents to gather opinions from village residents for the successful promotion of the project this year.

Since last month, to officially start the 600 project, continuous joint meetings with 12 eup and myeon heads and related departments have been held to anticipate potential issues in project implementation and devise countermeasures.

Kim Cheol-woo, Governor of Boseong-gun, said, “The help of the residents is essential to revive the village atmosphere, which has been stagnant due to COVID-19, and to activate the spirit of community,” adding, “Please strive to revive the beautiful spirit and spread the fragrance of Boseong widely across the country.”

Considering the spread of COVID-19, the county plans to strictly block the transmission of COVID-19 to the local community by limiting resident participation to about 20 to 30 people per village, maintaining proper distance between people, and always wearing masks while complying with quarantine rules during project implementation.

Meanwhile, the Boseong600 project has been recognized as an excellent case in Jeollanam-do and will be benchmarked as part of the province’s key initiative, the ‘Clean Jeonnam Best Village Making Project,’ and is scheduled to be expanded and implemented throughout all 22 cities and counties in Jeollanam-do.
