Boseong-gun applied for a total of 71 grant projects worth 236 billion KRW to secure national and provincial funds this year, of which 58 projects were selected.

Additionally, there are still grant projects available for selection at the end of this month, so the final scale of selection is expected to increase further.

Of the secured 150 billion KRW, national and provincial funds account for 83.2 billion KRW (55.5%), county funds 59.3 billion KRW (39.5%), and others 7.5 billion KRW (5.0%), with external resources making up 60.5%, greatly contributing to easing the county's financial burden and expected to further strengthen residential conditions and safety infrastructure closely related to residents' lives.

Since the beginning of the year, Boseong-gun has been fully committed to securing national and provincial funds, with County Governor Kim Cheol-woo leading all staff in actively applying for grant projects, frequently visiting central government ministries and the National Assembly to secure funding.

Governor Kim Cheol-woo said, “I am grateful to the staff who actively participated in attracting national and provincial government grant projects this year. Next year, we will carefully analyze government grant project trends to discover, promote, and secure projects that can enhance Boseong’s future and the dignity of its residents.”
