Mayor Moon In said, "In March, we created a public parking lot with 110 spaces by utilizing part of the buffer green space in the Advanced 2nd Phase Industrial Complex," and added, "To ensure smooth traffic flow within the industrial complex, we will minimize inconvenience to businesspeople and industrial complex workers through guidance activities combined with enforcement."

He continued, "We will actively review the support for taking the five mandatory trainings for small and medium enterprises to be reflected as a special policy of the district," and emphasized, "'Support for laundry of workers' work clothes' will be opened as the second branch in the local industrial complex following the joint laundry facility for workers in Hanam Industrial Complex, in active cooperation with Gwangju City."

He also stated, "Starting with the opening of the 'Drone Flight Practice Field' in 2019, followed by the designation of the 'Drone National Regular Practical Test Site and Drone Park' in 2020, and this year's selection as a 'Drone Special Free Zone and Drone Demonstration City,' we will actively foster the drone industry in connection with these achievements."

He added, "We will continue to actively respond to changes in the industrial ecosystem and do our best to build a business-friendly Buk-gu by leveraging the fruits of our efforts and opportunities for the development of the industrial complex."
