[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Seunghyun] Jangheung-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 14th that it held a briefing session for the Vital Village Making Project in the region.

The Vital Village Making Project is a two-year project aimed at improving the basic living standards of residents in rural fishing villages and promoting planned development of rural fishing areas.

Among the nine target villages in the northern region selected through the 2021 Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Rural Agreement contest, two villages and one village in the southern region will be selected through a public contest.

A Jangheung-gun official said, “Through the Vital Village Making Project, we will strengthen the capabilities of rural fishing villages and improve residents' quality of life,” adding, “We will also ensure the smooth progress of projects in Dangdong, Gwansan-eup, Yanggok, Jangdong-myeon, and Jinmok Village, Hoejin-myeon, which have been underway since 2021.”
