Park Seong-il, Wanju County Governor, Rushes to Make 'Hydrogen-Specialized National Industrial Complex' a Presidential Election Pledge

Proposal to Reflect the Mankyeonggang Basin Mahan History Belt Development Project in the Presidential Election Pledges

[Wanju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Park Seong-il, the governor of Wanju County, is making every effort to have two major issues, ‘Creation of a Hydrogen Specialized National Industrial Complex’ and ‘Creation of the Mankyeong River Basin Mahan Historical and Cultural Belt,’ reflected in the presidential election pledges.

On the 1st, Governor Park met with Democratic Party members of the National Assembly, Ahn Ho-young (Environment and Labor Committee) and Kim Seong-ju (Welfare Committee), and requested their support to select the hydrogen specialized national industrial complex and other issues as representative projects of Jeonbuk for the next presidential election, so that they can be included in the central party’s election pledges.

According to Wanju County, the creation of the hydrogen specialized national industrial complex to be promoted in Bongdong-eup is an urgent issue in terms of clustering domestic hydrogen companies, creating an eco-friendly industrial complex, establishing a support system for hydrogen companies, and supporting research and development of hydrogen vehicles and storage containers.

In particular, if a national industrial complex is established in Wanju County, a hydrogen pilot city where the domestic hydrogen commercial vehicle industry and the entire hydrogen value chain are built, it is expected to lead the realization of a carbon-neutral society and become a core growth engine of Jeonbuk.

Regarding the Mankyeong River Basin Mahan Historical and Cultural Belt creation project, it is an important project in terms of recreating symbolic spaces and landscapes of Mahan centered on the Mankyeong River, systematically organizing regional history and culture, and improving residents’ quality of life through regional development and tourism resource development.

This project targets areas including Sangun-ri in Yongjin-eup, Dunsan-ri in Bongdong-eup, and Samnye-ri in Samnye-eup of Wanju County, and mainly involves archaeological investigations, improvement of access roads between historical sites, restoration and maintenance of relics.
