[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Damyang-gun is being praised for successfully concluding the first year of the 8th local government administration with outstanding work capabilities, including being selected for various public contest projects this year as the year-end approaches.

According to the county on the 29th, from January to the present, 43 projects have been selected in public contests hosted by central government ministries, securing a total project cost of 123.7 billion KRW, including 60.5 billion KRW in national funds.

Looking at the selected public contest projects, notable ones include four projects worth over 2.6 billion KRW in the ‘2023 Development Restriction Zone Resident Support Project’ hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport; selection for the ‘2023 Living Area Pedestrian Environment Comprehensive Maintenance Pilot Project’ hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety with 6 billion KRW in fire safety grants; and 3 billion KRW for the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs’ ‘Forage Processing Facility’ project.

In particular, in December, Damyang-gun was selected for the Ministry of Environment’s ‘Regionally Customized Integrated River Project,’ securing 50 billion KRW in project funds (50% national funds, 15% provincial funds, 35% county funds).

Additionally, as a result of active efforts in evaluation fields, Damyang-gun received 25 awards in evaluations hosted by central government ministries and Jeonnam Province, including ▲Minister’s Award in the Digital Healthcare sector of the Health Promotion Project ▲Encouragement Award in Regional Special Zone Operation Performance Evaluation ▲Top Prize in Jeonnam Regional Economic Revitalization Promotion Evaluation ▲Excellence Award in Volunteer Center Evaluation ▲Grand Prize in Forest Administration Evaluation and Carbon Neutral Tree Planting Evaluation.

These achievements appear to be the result of efforts such as proactive prior consultations with related institutions including the National Assembly and central government ministries since the launch of the 8th local government administration, the establishment of a dedicated department for systematic management, and information sharing between departments.

County Governor Lee Byeongno said, “The good results came from the active administrative efforts of employees who achieved results in various fields and the support of 50,000 residents of the county,” adding, “In the coming new year, we will strive to move further toward a new Damyang.”
