Jinju City Also to Participate in Regional Incineration Plant Installation Costs According to Cost-sharing Ratio

The city of Jinju in Gyeongnam has expressed a welcoming stance regarding Sacheon city's recent statement in various media reports that it would actively consider the establishment of a regional incineration plant if Jinju proposes such a project after discontinuing its independent initiative.

Accordingly, Jinju announced that it will officially request, together with Sacheon, the installation of a regional incineration plant in the Sacheon area.

Until now, Jinju has been pursuing the installation of an independent incineration facility because Sacheon had not officially proposed the establishment of a regional incineration plant. However, due to opposition from residents in the candidate areas for the incineration facility, the site selection process has not been able to proceed, and protests against the installation continue to take place.

In this situation, if Sacheon decides to install a regional incineration plant in its area, Jinju stated that it would officially request the establishment of the plant without any conditions related to administrative integration, and would also bear the costs of the plant according to the agreed cost-sharing ratio.

An official from Jinju said, "We will do our utmost to ensure the successful establishment of the regional incineration plant in the Sacheon area through close cooperation with Sacheon," adding, "Separate from administrative integration, the cooperation between the two cities in creating the regional incineration plant will serve as a foundation for mutual growth."
