Planning to Continuously Communicate with Jeollanam-do to Advocate for National Budget Inclusion in Projects

[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Cheon-seok] Jeollanam-do Boseong-gun announced that it will make all-out efforts to secure national funds until the National Assembly approves projects not reflected in the government budget.

For the 2023 national fund securing projects, there is a consensus that establishing a cooperative system with Jeollanam-do is of utmost importance, and plans to continuously communicate with Jeollanam-do to work hard on reflecting the national fund project budget.

In particular, Boseong-gun has repeatedly visited the Ministry of Economy and Finance to explain the feasibility of projects and is making efforts such as structuring the local status and necessity to secure project costs for ▲Beolgyo tidal flat restoration project (7 billion KRW) and ▲Yongsan Jangsu rural sewage maintenance project (4.6 billion KRW), which were not reflected in the government budget.

The target projects for securing national funds in 2023 amount to 8 projects totaling 305.1 billion KRW, including ▲environment sector projects such as Boseong pipeline maintenance phase 2 (10.5 billion KRW), Hoecheon district pipeline maintenance (12.3 billion KRW), Yongsan-Jangsu rural sewage maintenance (4.6 billion KRW), Gunnong-Yeoncheon rural sewage maintenance (5.2 billion KRW), and Cheongam-Bibong rural village sewage maintenance (5.5 billion KRW).

▲In the marine and fisheries sector, projects include Beolgyo tidal flat restoration (7 billion KRW), expansion of marine tidal flat ecological network construction and trail creation (10 billion KRW), and creation of Yeojaman National Tidal Flat Marine Garden (250 billion KRW).

The railway improvement project between Imseong and Boseong, which will be promoted by establishing a cooperative system with Jeollanam-do, requires the full amount of 35.4 billion KRW to be completed in 2023, and plans to ensure that the 108.4 billion KRW budget for the Gyeongjeon Line high-speed railway project is fully reflected in the National Assembly.

Kim Cheol-woo, the mayor of Boseong-gun, emphasized that “The Yeojaman National Tidal Flat Marine Garden project is a Boseong-gun-led project connected with Yeosu City, Suncheon City, and Goheung-gun as part of the Yeojaman preservation project,” and urged all department heads to frequently visit the National Assembly and strive to have the project costs increased and reflected in the 2023 national budget, emphasizing the importance of administrative procedures for budget securing.
