[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Noh Gwan-gyu) announced on the 27th that it is working tirelessly to secure national funding to resolve pending projects.

Son Jeom-sik, Vice Mayor of Suncheon City, visited Jeollanam-do the day before and requested that all national projects proposed by Suncheon City, including the construction of the Suncheonman Tidal Flat Healing and Therapy Center, be reflected in the basic plan for the ultra-wide southern region tourism development project worth 3 trillion won over 10 years starting next year.

He also asked Jeollanam-do to jointly support the inclusion of pending projects in the government budget, such as the 99 billion won Old Downtown Renaissance Garden Project for the creation of Suncheon Garden City, which is a presidential interest in the Honam region, and support for hosting the 2023 Suncheonman International Garden Expo.

Prior to this, on the 19th, Suncheon Mayor Noh Gwan-gyu visited Jeollanam-do and, after meeting with Governor Kim Young-rok, secured an additional 10 billion won in provincial funds for the successful hosting of the Garden Expo, giving momentum to the event.

The city plans to make multifaceted efforts by having all employees from the mayor down visit central government departments and the National Assembly frequently until December, when the government budget is approved, to ensure that pending projects are included.

A Suncheon City official stated, “We will do our best to secure government financial support for city pending projects to lay the foundation for regional balanced development as well as the leap forward to a first-class Suncheon.”
