[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] Yeongyang County, Gyeongbuk, finalized the public pledge projects of the 8th term Yeongyang County Governor on the 7th at the county office’s large conference room, with the ‘Yeongyang County Governor Pledge Implementation Evaluation Team’ and related department heads in attendance.


Following the 7th term, Yeongyang County appointed 15 members of the pledge implementation evaluation team, composed purely of civilians, on September 2nd to finalize the governor’s pledge projects for the 8th term. To ensure transparency and democracy in pledge formulation, they underwent opinion-gathering procedures including subcommittee meetings, detailed implementation plan reporting sessions, and final reporting sessions.


Three subcommittees were formed by sector, selecting members with expertise and representation from each town and township to enhance the practical execution capability of the pledges.


The final confirmed pledges for the 8th term Yeongyang County Governor, approved by the pledge implementation evaluation team, consist of 3 sectors, 10 goals, and 84 pledge projects. Major projects include ▲Increasing the highest price guarantee production subsidy for Yeongyang red chili peppers, ranked number one nationwide in production ▲Branding the Yeongyang birch forest tourist site ▲Providing 300,000 KRW per person for citizen health checkup expenses ▲Establishing a county public park cemetery ▲Developing infrastructure for the Badaedeul residential complex.


Regarding the confirmation of these pledge projects, the county plans to continue the major pillars of the 7th term’s ‘life-centered administration’ and ‘regional economic revitalization,’ while promoting various projects to achieve the 8th term’s county administration goal of ‘Happy Change, Hopeful Yeongyang,’ thereby increasing the residents’ perception of county administration.


Nam Seok-jin, chairman of the pledge implementation evaluation team, stated, “For the pledge projects confirmed through communication and participation of the residents to be properly implemented over the next four years, much interest from both residents and public officials is necessary,” urging everyone to work together for pledge fulfillment.



Yeongyang County plans to fully disclose the confirmed pledge projects on its website through a revamp and will do its best to ensure the pledges are implemented within the term through regular inspections and evaluations.
