Jangseong-gun Provides 'Daily Recovery Support Fund' to All Residents... Traditional Market Revitalized

[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Jo Hangyu] The daily recovery support fund, which has been distributed since the 8th by Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do, is revitalizing the once-shrunken alley markets and traditional markets.

The county announced on the 9th that as part of the 8th term public pledge project to stabilize the livelihood of residents struggling due to COVID-19, it is providing all residents with a daily recovery support fund of 300,000 won.

On the first day of the 8th term, last month on the 1st, Jangseong-gun Governor Kim Han-jong approved the second supplementary budget plan, including the support fund budget, as his first administrative task, making efforts for prompt distribution.

Over two days, the 8th and 9th, the county deployed 90 public officials to support the distribution of the daily recovery support fund in the towns and townships.

On the first day, the 8th, payments were completed to about 15,300 people, showing a distribution rate of 35%.

The support fund was distributed entirely in Jangseong Love Gift Certificates to serve as a catalyst for the revival of the local economy.

On the second day of the support fund distribution, the 9th, the Jangseong Hwangryong Market, which coincided with market day, was bustling with customers in every alley, showing a rare vitality.

A resident, Mr. Im, who visited the market, said, "Since the economy is difficult, it has been very hard to run the household, but the support fund was a great help."

Governor Kim Han-jong said, "The core goal of the 8th term county government is to open an era where residents are the owners and happy in Jangseong," adding, "We will do our best to stabilize the lives of residents suffering from the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and economic crisis."

Meanwhile, the daily recovery support fund will be distributed at the administrative welfare centers of towns and townships until the 16th of next month. If the head of the household visits with an ID card, they can receive 300,000 won worth of Jangseong Love Gift Certificates per household member.

For elderly or disabled households with mobility difficulties, the support fund is being distributed through direct visits.
