Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam held a local extinction response fund investment project briefing session.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam held a local extinction response fund investment project briefing session on the 21st at the small conference room of the county office.

At the briefing session, attended by County Governor Kim Yoon-cheol, heads of agencies directly under the offices and bureaus, and all department heads, the Future Strategy Division, the general department, explained the 'Local Extinction Response Fund' and the 'Special Act on Support for Population Declining Areas,' and the departments in charge of investment projects reported on the progress.

Hapcheon-gun secured 14 billion KRW in resources from the Local Extinction Response Fund and obtained an additional 3 billion KRW from the Gyeongnam Province support fund, totaling 17 billion KRW to promote projects this year and next year.

The projects include eight initiatives related to youth jobs, healing, and educational welfare, such as the 'Youth and Newlywed Happy Housing Construction,' which is also linked to the 8th term elected administration's pledges, and the 'Handmade Local Food Youth Startup Promotion Project,' which creates jobs for young people by utilizing the county's food resources.

Furthermore, as the concept of population expands beyond registered addresses to include 'living population' who stay for work, education, tourism, etc., measures to increase this will be reflected in future investment project discoveries.

Governor Kim said, "Securing a large project budget is important, but it is more crucial that the investment projects are successfully implemented to achieve the effect of population inflow. I ask all staff to take an interest and cooperate when establishing the 2024 Local Extinction Response Fund investment plan and the basic plan for the Special Act on Support for Population Declining Areas."
