[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do saved 200 million KRW in budget by simultaneously promoting the LPG pipeline network supply, creating bright streets in Jindo-eup downtown, and undergrounding power lines.

On the 8th, according to the county, through consultations with KEPCO and others, the three projects promoted in Jindo-eup were integrated to prevent double excavation in major downtown areas, saving 200 million KRW in budget and shortening the construction period by two months, minimizing inconvenience to residents.

The LPG pipeline network supply project was temporarily suspended due to residents' opposition, but since 2019, after continuous collection of residents' opinions through holding residents' briefings, advanced site visits, and producing and distributing promotional materials, the project was officially launched.

However, since the construction section extends to 46 km and excavation work in Jindo-eup downtown is essential, the county reviewed ways to link the project with other institutions' projects requiring road excavation to reduce residents' traffic inconvenience and construction noise.

The county, through working-level consultations, managed individual construction schedules and integrated excavation sections by institution to simultaneously promote KEPCO's underground power line project and Jindo-eup major downtown bright street creation project, saving budget and shortening construction periods.

An official from Jindo-gun Administration Department said, “When promoting development projects for regional development, we will continue to strive to minimize residents' inconvenience and save budget through active and innovative administration based on communication and cooperation.”
