Candidate Noh Gwan-gyu to Continue Mayor Heo Seok's Good Promises

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Independent candidate for Suncheon Mayor, Noh Gwan-gyu, stated on the 16th, “I will accept and carry on the good pledges that Mayor Heo Seok promised, such as relocating the terminal and attracting a large hospital with 1,000 beds, which set a broad framework for the lives of Suncheon citizens and urban development.”

Candidate Noh said, “As one of the expressions of willingness to inherit the good pledges of other candidates who competed in the Democratic Party primary, Mayor Heo Seok’s pledges are quite realistic and can be implemented immediately,” suggesting that he will continue to adopt many policies and pledges in the future.

Noh Gwan-gyu emphasized, “The terminal relocation is a very necessary project for environmental aspects such as reducing exhaust gases caused by downtown traffic problems and through-traffic, as well as for creating new spaces and innovation for the development of the old downtown.” He explained, “As promised by Mayor Heo Seok, the site left after relocating the terminal will be transformed into a youth startup and cultural space, becoming a driving force to attract more people to the old downtown.”

He also attracted attention by saying that pledges similar to his own, such as the creation of the Shindaecheon Riverside Park, will involve “sharing many ideas with each other.”

In particular, he said, “The ‘Special City Pledge’ that Mayor Heo accepted from candidate Jang Man-chae’s pledge is a good plan for Suncheon to rise as the central city of the southern central region, and it is consistent with the integrated mega-city pledge that I am promoting.” He added, “We will consult with each other in the future to promote it as a good policy,” indicating that a policy-based one team is possible.

Finally, candidate Noh Gwan-gyu said, “The most urgent task, the 2023 Suncheonman International Garden Expo, is something I know very well from the experience of hosting it in 2013 and the hard work involved.” He stated, “It is true that Mayor Heo really accomplished a difficult task, and it will remain as an achievement. Also, since Mayor Heo successfully hosted a difficult event, if I am elected mayor, I will do my best to ensure that the event proceeds without any errors.”
