Goheung-gun Achieves Top Award for Two Consecutive Years in Jeonnam Province's Comprehensive Evaluation of Return-to-Farming and Rural Settlement Services

Various Policies to Attract Returning Farmers, Fishermen, and Migrants Gain Attention

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] Jeollanam-do Goheung-gun (Governor Gong Young-min) announced on the 2nd that Goheung-gun's return-to-farming and return-to-village policies received excellent evaluations in the 2022 Jeollanam-do Return-to-Farming and Return-to-Village Comprehensive Evaluation, winning the 'Grand Prize.'

This evaluation comprehensively assessed 8 items including the creative and leading efforts in attracting return-to-farming and return-to-village settlers, independent project achievements, and promotional efforts to attract urban residents across 22 cities and counties in Jeonnam.

Goheung-gun established the 'Goheung-gun Return-to-Farming and Return-to-Village Comprehensive Plan' to ensure stable settlement of returnees in local communities, a pledge of the 8th elected administration, creating a systematic management and project operation roadmap.

Also, with the vision of 'Establishing a foundation for a population of 100,000 in Goheung in 10 years,' the county officially declared this vision and is promoting eight core projects including becoming a space launch vehicle industry hub city, a drone-centered city, and the construction of a highway between Gwangju and Naro Space Center.

A Goheung-gun official said, “We will continue to do our best to attract return-to-farming and return-to-village populations through various policies such as one-stop services from consultation to settlement, the 'Stay-type Return-to-Farming and Return-to-Village Complex Education Infrastructure Construction Project' for stable early settlement, and 'Live in Goheung for 3 months, then settle' to expand youth inflow, as well as developing new initiatives.”
