On the 24th at 4 p.m., the city held the ‘2024 National Funding Target Project Discovery Report Meeting’ in the city administration conference room and began full-scale activities to secure national funds.

Presided over by Mayor Hong Nam-pyo, the report meeting set the national funding target at 1.7712 trillion KRW, a 10% increase compared to last year, to strengthen Changwon Special City’s urban status and secure new growth engines to lead the next 50 years. The meeting shared reports and strategies on a total of 162 national funding target projects linked to government policies.

Changwon Special City, Gyeongnam, has officially started efforts to secure national funding to continuously discover new projects for the next year.

This year, the city plans to continuously promote key projects of the 8th elected administration and focus on discovering new projects linked to national policies and securing resources for local pending issues to foster future growth industries.

In particular, as the amount of national funding secured has steadily increased, this year the city will focus on strategic national funding activities that consider the city’s financial conditions through sufficient prior review of project effects and resident benefits rather than the quantity of funds secured. This approach aims to prevent inefficient project implementation and unnecessary budget waste by concentrating on securing only essential projects.

To this end, the city will carry out national funding activities in stages according to the national financial management plan and the central government ministries’ budget preparation schedule. The ‘One Team’ will be further strengthened, centered on the Planning and Coordination Office and the Seoul Headquarters, by linking with central government ministry alumni and local members of the National Assembly to promote the efforts in an organized and strategic manner.

Major new and public contest projects for national funding in 2024 include ▲Smart Manufacturing Safety Sensor Platform Construction Project ▲Manufacturing Digital Transformation Support Center Operation Project ▲PM-HIP Core Manufacturing Technology and Parts Development ▲Future Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) Complex Research Center Construction Project ▲Public Data Enterprise Matching Support Project ▲Myeongseo District Excellent Retention Facility Installation Project ▲Cultural District Urban Regeneration Project ▲Southern Region (Southeast Zone - Changwon) Metropolitan Tourism Development Project ▲5th Cultural City Project Contest ▲Masan Station Future-type Transfer Center Pilot Project ▲Cheonju-ro (Lines 3-34) Expansion ▲Jinhae New Port Harbor Business Center Construction ▲Masan Port Waterfront Marine Leisure Experience Center Construction ▲Floriculture Industry Promotion Area Designation ▲Gaeumjeong Park Urban Ecological Axis Restoration Project ▲Sewer Pipeline Maintenance Project in Yegok-dong and 3 other locations.

Mayor Hong said, “To secure new growth engines for the next 50 years, it is necessary to thoroughly analyze the central government ministries’ work plans and continuously discover new projects based on government policy directions and our city’s development strategy.” He added, “I hope everyone will focus on developing logical grounds for the necessity and justification of projects and do their best in advance preparations to ensure these projects are definitely reflected in the central government ministries’ budget proposals.”
