According to the county on the 9th, the Regional Balanced New Deal Excellent Project Contest is a project conducted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety to discover creative projects tailored to regional characteristics and secure driving forces for regional economic innovation.

Among the submitted projects, 40 projects, including Damyang's "Bamboo R&D Infrastructure Establishment and Green Environment Transition Project," which passed the first screening, will compete in the online vote for final selection.

The final selection will be decided through document screening (50%), online voting (50%), and presentation evaluation, with the national public voting taking place from the 10th to the 14th.

The "Bamboo R&D Infrastructure Establishment and Green Environment Transition Project" planned by the county is a project to foster bamboo, a representative local resource, into a sixth industry, aiming to increase the income of local residents by investing a total of 15.2 billion KRW by 2023 to establish a bamboo new industry cluster base.

The county expects that through this project, it will be possible to expand research facilities for systematic bamboo research, secure various bamboo resources as plants responding to climate change, preserve and manage them, and create high added value through the development of various bamboo industry technologies.

A county official said, "We ask for active interest in the national vote so that the bamboo industry can develop into a new industry leading Damyang's future."
