[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Lee Sang-ik, the mayor of Hampyeong County, is making every effort to secure government budgets, and his active "footwork administration" is bearing fruit.

According to the county on the 1st, Hampyeong County recently secured a total of 2.2 billion won in special grants from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety for four projects: ▲ Dongbaekcheon Maintenance Project in Sonbul-myeon, Hampyeong (700 million won) ▲ Urban Planning Road Construction in the Gikak Old Downtown District (800 million won) ▲ Hampyeong Cheonjigil Creation Project (400 million won) ▲ Installation of Rain Shelter Facilities at Hampyeong Traditional Market (300 million won).

The special grants secured this time are expected to give more momentum to the promotion of local pending projects such as disaster safety prevention and convenience facilities for residents.

The county analyzes that this achievement is the result of Mayor Lee's active administration, including a meeting with Jeon Hae-cheol, Minister of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, on April 5, where he strongly expressed the need for government budget support for the relevant pending projects.

In May, Mayor Lee also met successively with central government officials such as Hwang Hee, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and Park Young-beom, Vice Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, proposing 31.6 billion won in national and provincial funds for eight projects, making every effort to discover local pending projects and secure national budget.

Mayor Lee Sang-ik said, "Since government budget support projects such as securing this special grant are directly related to the lives of residents, I will continue to visit political circles and central government departments and strive to secure as much special grants and next year's government budget as possible through active discussions and consultations."
