Sinan-gun Secures 7 Billion KRW for Hub Development in Sindaemyeon Sangtaedong Area

First in the 8th Civilian Administration, Customized Expansion of Living SOC Expected to Drive Specialized Development

[Sinan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-kyung] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, has selected Sindaedong area in Sinui-myeon as the first project of the 8th local government administration in the ‘2023 Rural Fishing Village General Agricultural and Fishing Village Development Project’ hosted by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.

This project is implemented to improve the basic living standards of underdeveloped and poor fishing village centers, securing a total project cost of 7 billion KRW (70% national funding) by 2027.

Since September last year, Sinan-gun has organized a promotion committee starting with a project briefing session to successfully attract regional development projects. The project plan was drafted through opinion gathering from county office and myeon office officials and residents, and was finally selected after evaluations by Jeollanam-do and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.

Sinui-myeon is the largest solar salt production area in Korea, with abundant tourist resources such as Samdo Bridge, the island bridge connecting Ha-ui and Sinui, Hwangseonggeum-ri beach, and seasonal seafood production. However, due to the characteristics of island areas, infrastructure is aging from strong sea winds, and residents’ living conditions are poor.

The selected ‘Sindaedong Area Hub Development Project in Sinui-myeon’ is expected to promote sustainable regional development by expanding urgent service supply and delivery functions in the area through planned customized living SOC expansion such as Salt Flower Cultural Square, fishermen’s convenience facilities maintenance, Haeoreum Trail, Salt Flower Specialty Street, Olive Theme Road, and residential area color maintenance.

In addition, a Sinan-gun official expressed gratitude, saying that the selection of this public contest project was the result of active participation and cooperation of the area residents along with local district National Assembly member Seo Sam-seok, Jeollanam-do officials, and county council members.

County Governor Park Woo-ryang stated, “To revitalize the local economy and improve living conditions through the expansion of basic living services and distinctive landscape improvements in the underdeveloped towns and myeons formed by 1,004 islands in Sinan-gun, we plan to further devote ourselves to central government public contest projects and develop all towns and myeons in turn.”
