[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam is working hard to secure national budget funds that serve as the foundation for regional development.

Recently, the county, led by Vice Governor Kwon Yang-geun and key executive officials including Jeong Byeong-ju, Director of Planning and Coordination, visited the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Ministry of Environment consecutively.

The purpose of these visits to central government ministries was to explain the special grant projects for the first half of the year and the national budget projects for water supply and sewage for the next year, and to request support.

At the Ministry of Environment, the national budget securing task force, including Vice Governor Kwon, requested cooperation for securing budgets for three projects: the installation of public sewage pipelines in the Seokdae district, and the expansion of rural village sewage systems in Deokgyo district and Wolpyeong district.

They then visited the Ministry of the Interior and Safety to explain the necessity of promoting seven special grant projects, including the expansion and paving construction of agricultural roads in Gochi Jeolgol, Saengbiryang-myeon, the expansion and paving of road No. 206 in Sicheon-ri, and road maintenance in Hanbat village, Naeri.

In particular, they explained the need to expand support for mid- to long-term projects such as the ‘2023 Sancheong World Traditional Medicine Anti-Aging Expo’ and requested active consideration during the calculation of the ordinary grants for the next year.

Vice Governor Kwon said, “To solve local issues and secure government budgets, the most effective method is to directly visit the relevant central government ministries and frankly discuss the necessity of projects and difficulties in promotion,” adding, “We will continue to actively secure budgets to solve local issues and maintain exchanges and cooperation with each ministry.”
