The scale of rural area development funds amounts to a staggering 43 billion KRW.

Through the Rural Agreement, the county will coordinate project details with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs by the end of this year and invest a total of 43 billion KRW (30 billion KRW national funds, 13 billion KRW local funds) over five years from 2023 to 2027 to promote complex rural area development projects such as rural hub revitalization projects, basic living base establishment projects, and city-county capacity enhancement projects.

The county held two resident discussion meetings in 12 eup and myeon districts to identify necessary projects for the region, and improved the completeness of the plan through continuous expert consulting and collaboration with Gyeongsangnam-do Province and the Korea Rural Community Corporation.

This achievement was supported by County Governor Gu In-mo, who participated in all 24 resident discussion meetings to raise the will to promote the project, and the full support of National Assemblyman Kim Tae-ho.
