Also, the top administrative goal was “Era of Gwangyang, a Place of Inspired Life Together,” chosen by 41%, followed by “Sustainable Global Future City Gwangyang” at 31%, and “Sustainable Inspired City Gwangyang” at 27%.

Mayor-elect Jeong In-hwa said, “The administrative vision system is the core value expressing the direction and goals of Gwangyang City’s 8th term administration,” and added, “Together with the citizens, we will create a warm Gwangyang where no one is left out, a happy era of inspiration, and a sustainable global future city as the citizens wish.”
