Kim San, the governor of Muan County, is working tirelessly to secure next year's national funding to resolve major local issues.

According to Muan County, on the 6th, Governor Kim visited the Ministry of Economy and Finance at the Sejong Government Complex and had a meeting with Ando-geol, the 2nd Vice Minister of the Ministry of Economy and Finance.

The major projects include the construction of a multipurpose gymnasium within Muan Sports Park, the cultural regeneration project of the former Muan High School, the flood prevention project in the Mangun (Mokdong) sewerage priority management area, the expansion of the Illo public sewage treatment plant, the creation of a fine dust blocking forest along the Namak railway, the installation of a branch office for the agricultural machinery rental center, and the maintenance of sewage pipelines in Muan-eup, with a total project cost of 50.1 billion KRW. They requested 6.35 billion KRW in national funding for next year.

In particular, Governor Kim did not stop at meeting Vice Minister Ando-geol but also visited budget review officers and department heads responsible for each project to explain the necessity and justification of the proposed projects, actively pursuing national funding.

Governor Kim San said, “I am grateful to Vice Minister Ando-geol for taking the time to listen to our county’s proposed projects despite his busy schedule,” and added, “We will do our best to secure the maximum national funding possible until the government budget is finalized at the end of August.”

Meanwhile, since April, Governor Kim has visited the National Assembly and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety to explain major issues and proposed projects, and through cooperation with local lawmakers, secured 1.75 billion KRW in special grants for the first half of the year in June.
