Seo Chunsu, Mayor of Hamyang County.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Seo Chunsu, the mayor of Hamyang County, recently stated at the groundbreaking ceremony of Seosang-myeon Office that "projects opposed by residents will not be pursued" regarding the construction of a waste treatment facility in Seosang-myeon.

According to the county on the 4th, when there was a movement on May 3rd to establish a waste treatment company in Seosang-myeon, local residents strongly opposed it. Mayor Seo held a meeting with the residents and conveyed the county's position by saying, "Projects that residents do not agree with will not proceed."

Later, on the 19th of last month, when the residents' countermeasure committee held a rally to resolutely oppose the waste treatment facility, bringing the issue back into focus, Mayor Seo publicly put an end to the matter through remarks related to the construction of the waste treatment facility at the groundbreaking ceremony of Seosang-myeon Office on the 27th of last month.

The day after Mayor Seo’s remarks, the owner of the site where the waste treatment facility was to be established officially announced that they would never sell the land for the treatment facility, effectively concluding the construction of the waste treatment facility.

Recently, many related posts have also been uploaded on the "Requests to the Mayor" bulletin board operated on the Hamyang County website.

Mayor Seo Chunsu emphasized, "If the residents do not want it, we will not do it," and added, "With one heart loving Hamyang County, which embraces a pristine natural environment, we will think first from the perspective of the county residents."
