On the 22nd, Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam Province held the first project briefing session for securing the 2025 national and provincial government budget in the county office situation room, presided over by the deputy county governor, with all senior officials including directors in attendance.

To prepare and respond systematically and proactively to securing the national and provincial government budget, the timeline was advanced by about two months compared to the previous year. Since December last year, a strategic plan has been established, and full efforts are being made to discover projects for applying for the national and provincial government budget projects first.

Geochang-gun is holding the first briefing session for the 2025 national and provincial government-funded projects.

Despite the difficult conditions under the national austerity fiscal policy, Geochang-gun has set the target amount for securing the national and provincial government budget for next year at 292.9 billion KRW, an increase of 15.4 billion KRW (5.55%) compared to this year. With a long-term plan, the county aims to realize a budget of 1 trillion KRW during the 8th term of the elected administration, driving regional development, maintaining the resident population, attracting living and related populations, revitalizing the local economy, and securing the growth of Geochang for the next 50 years. The plan is to gradually expand finances and strengthen the financial foundation.

The major projects in Geochang-gun to be funded by the 2025 national and provincial government budget amount to 97 projects worth 186.7 billion KRW, with a total national and provincial government budget of 111.3 billion KRW. Of these, the national government budget covers 61 projects worth 66 billion KRW, and the provincial government budget covers 36 projects worth 45.3 billion KRW.

In addition, there are 9 projects directly implemented by the national government and Gyeongsangnam-do applicable to Geochang-gun, totaling 1.3 trillion KRW.

County Governor Gu In-mo stated, “Our county’s major projects are the foundation for the current and future leap of Geochang. We will mobilize all administrative power to do our best in selecting national and provincial government budget projects and securing the budget.” He added, “Since this is only possible with the interest and support of all residents and compatriots, we kindly ask for your warm encouragement and support.”

Meanwhile, Geochang-gun plans to maximize the discovery of national and provincial government budget projects through the first project discovery briefing session presided over by the deputy county governor in January and the second briefing session presided over by the county governor in February. After project verification, preparations for national budget applications will be completed by March, and all national budget projects will be applied for without fail by April in accordance with the government budget schedule.
