The public hearing, which began with a keynote presentation by Professor Hwang Jong-gyu titled ‘Local Crisis and the Subject of Local Creation,’ covered various topics including the interim report on the research project for establishing the Yeongam-type local circular economy strategy.

The interim report of the research project includes plans to promote local development by expanding the supply system of school meal ingredients produced in Yeongam based on the high value-added and planned production system of local food, and increasing the production of eco-friendly agricultural products.

Additionally, through the ‘Yeongam-type Local Circular Economy Fund Formation,’ various projects such as supporting public service businesses and revitalizing startups will be carried out, which is expected to increase the subscription rate of local currency and strengthen the virtuous cycle structure of the region.

County Governor Woo Seung-hee stated, “We present the local circular economy as a core strategy for Yeongam’s new leap forward,” and added, “We will build a sustainable economic system where the added value produced within the region is consumed and reinvested locally, creating a Yeongam where all residents prosper together.”

Yeongam-gun plans to continue seeking steady development based on the local circular economy and aims to further prosper the local community and develop it into a sustainable model through active participation and cooperation of residents.
