Haman-gun Accelerates Securing National and Provincial Budget and Preparing for Public Project Applications

Jogeunje, Hamangun County Governor, Chairs May Current Issues Review Meeting

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Jo Geunje, the mayor of Haman County, urged on the 17th during the May issue inspection meeting to make every effort to secure budgets through the selection of national and provincial subsidies and public contest projects.

Mayor Jo instructed to devote all administrative power to securing budgets for national and provincial subsidies and public contest projects that will lead the recovery of the people's economy and regional development amid the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

In particular, since it is difficult for the county to overcome the limitations of poor local finances with its own resources alone, he asked to respond in an organized and systematic manner to secure external resources.

Mayor Jo stated that the application for national and provincial subsidy budgets for next year is 270 billion KRW, an increase of 24% compared to this year.

He ordered to actively strive to secure budgets for public contest projects based on the logic of the necessity of strengthening cooperation with the central government and Gyeongnam Province and supporting national and provincial subsidies.

Furthermore, Mayor Jo also instructed to do their best in population increase policies.

Due to changes in internal and external conditions such as job reduction caused by low birthrate and aging society, and outflow to neighboring cities, the county's population continues to decline.

In response, he instructed the Innovation Growth Officer to integrate various population increase policies dispersed by each department and to find measures to overcome the population decline crisis.

He also ordered to actively discover various projects for county administration development by strengthening cooperation with related organizations.

He cited recent examples such as promoting county administration news through KT Olleh TV and signing a business agreement with Haman Post Office, urging to do their best for regional development and citizen-centered administration implementation.

Then, Mayor Jo concluded the meeting by saying, "Please comprehensively inspect the major county administration projects planned for this year and supplement any shortcomings so that the major county administration projects can be promoted with a sense of speed."
