On this day, Mayor Cho met with local business owners and small merchants who suffered unprecedented damage due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), exchanged opinions on supporting the local economy, and communicated about ways to build a happy Jinju for its citizens.

The business owners and small merchants attending the date expressed concerns that the local economy might worsen in connection with the major city issue of the LH dismantling problem, and at the same time requested explanations about the future direction of the city.

They also presented various opinions on current issues such as revitalization plans for the old downtown commercial district, road expansion in Jeongchon Industrial Complex, measures to address the implementation of the 52-hour workweek system, early promotion of regeneration industries and industry upgrading in the Sangpyeong Industrial Complex, among others.

Mayor Cho, along with explaining city administration, stated, “We will carefully review the valuable opinions for the development of the city,” adding, “Although we have worked tirelessly for the past three years, the coming year is more important than ever,” and “We will devote all our efforts with a renewed mindset to open the next 100 years of Jinju’s future.”
