Last year, the county supported 52 companies with 104 million KRW. This year, the budget scale has been increased to 176 million KRW to promote the project.

Applications were accepted from the end of January, and the support targets were selected through internal screening such as document review and final confirmation by Gyeongnam Province.

The support project includes outdoor sign replacement, interior and exterior improvements, restroom improvements, POS system (point of sale information management system) purchase and installation, facility fixture purchase, COVID-19 quarantine facilities, and promotion (website construction, flyers, leaflets, catalogs, promotional material production support, etc.).

Kim Myung-moon, Director of the Economic Strategy Division, said, “Small business owners are facing great difficulties due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19,” and added, “We hope this project will be a practical help not only in improving the facilities of business sites but also in overcoming management difficulties.”
