Judooseok, Jangseong County Governor, Marks First Step of 3rd Anniversary of 7th Elected Term... Visits Jangseong Jungang Elementary School

[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hangyu]=On the 1st, Yoo Doo-seok, the governor of Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do, visited Jangseong Jungang Elementary School as his first step to mark the 3rd anniversary of the 7th local government.

Governor Yoo volunteered for traffic safety guidance at Jangseong Jungang Elementary School that morning.

That morning, Governor Yoo inspected the condition of traffic safety facilities and checked traffic volume at the elementary school to assess the safety status of the school zone.

In particular, considering the safety of children, he decided to actively support the installation of anti-slip measures on the signal waiting section (Yellow Carpet) and the creation of roadside drop-off spaces, as raised by the Parent Association and the Green Mothers' Club.

Governor Yoo also visited the Jinwon-myeon area, which suffered flood damage last year, to directly check the flood recovery situation.

This approach is interpreted as a commitment to focus administrative power on ensuring the safe life of residents and enhancing the future value of Jangseong.

During the 3 years of the 7th local government, the county implemented a safety insurance for all residents (providing up to 10 million KRW without personal burden) and expanded the coverage from 10 to 13 items.

In response to the COVID-19 situation, interdepartmental cooperation systems were strengthened, a vaccination center was established in the town area for easy access by vulnerable groups, and a system for smooth vaccine administration was also prepared.

A total budget of 4.55 billion KRW was established, and a COVID-19 disaster relief fund of 100,000 KRW was provided to all residents.

The 7th local government is accelerating the promotion of pledge projects to envision a hopeful future for Jangseong, currently achieving a high implementation rate of 83.4% across 65 projects in 7 fields.

The most representative project is the establishment of the National Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Center. After 14 years of ‘Infinite Challenge,’ it succeeded in securing 4.37 billion KRW in government budget last December. It is highly anticipated to become a new growth engine leading the nation’s advanced medical industry beyond Jangseong.

During the 3 years of the 7th local government, the county was selected for a total of 83 public contest projects, securing 115.743 billion KRW in project funds.

Especially in the agricultural sector, 46 public contest projects were selected, firmly laying the foundation for agricultural industry development.

The largest public contest project is the attraction of the ‘National Subtropical Crop Demonstration Center.’ With 35 billion KRW of national funding secured, it boasts the largest scale among the county’s public contest projects and will play a pivotal role in cultivating national subtropical crop cultivation technology after completion.

The 11.6 billion KRW regional food plan package support project also draws attention.

The county is organizing a unified distribution system through the project to enable small and medium farmers in the region to secure stable sales channels for agricultural products.

Governor Yoo Doo-seok said, “Building a prosperous rural area where all residents are happy is Jangseong’s top administrative goal. We will strengthen the foundation for improving quality of life by enhancing safety in daily life and devote all efforts to completing a prosperous countryside and a new Jangseong.”
