[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) has been selected for the '2021 Safe Streetlight Plus Support Project' contest to create safe walking conditions for island residents, receiving a total of 333 million KRW, including 300 million KRW for streetlight installation and 33 million KRW for living expenses for vulnerable groups.

According to the county on the 30th, the Safe Streetlight Plus Support Project is a joint initiative by Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. and the Milal Welfare Foundation. It is a project that installs eco-friendly solar-powered safe streetlights to protect residents in crime-vulnerable areas and provides living expenses up to 1 million KRW per household to 33 vulnerable households, delivering bright hope.

The selected sites this time include a total of 42 solar streetlights installed along the beach promenade and village alley vulnerable areas in Jeungdo-myeon, registered as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, and will receive free maintenance for five years.

Governor Park Woo-ryang said, “The solar-powered safe streetlights are the first in the nation to realize the renewable energy development profit-sharing system and can provide emergency living expenses to neighbors in need, such as basic livelihood security recipients, making it a project essential to our region. We will continue to spare no effort in supporting the walking safety of residents in vulnerable areas and various assistance for low-income groups.”
