Aerospace Administration Opens as No.1 ... Selected as Sacheon City's Top 10 News

Opening of Sacheon City Library (2nd place)
Namil Mirae Namilmare (3rd place)

The opening of the Space and Aviation Agency, which created the conditions for positioning Sacheon-si, Gyeongnam as the aerospace capital of South Korea, was selected as the number one news story in Sacheon-si's top 10 news of the year.

Through data analysis of articles published throughout the year, the candidates were narrowed down to 20, and then the top 10 news stories were selected at an executive meeting.

The opening of the Space and Aviation Agency, chosen as the first place, is an important historic moment achieved together by the residents of Gyeongnam Province and Sacheon-si, carrying the weight of being the first step toward the development of Sacheon-si and South Korea's aerospace industry.

Opened on May 27, 2024, the Space and Aviation Agency is currently in its early stages of laying the foundation for growth and development, so the number of actual employees is not large.

However, the mere existence of the Space and Aviation Agency will promote the attraction of aerospace-related companies, and once these companies settle in the region, it will lead to additional job creation and economic revitalization. In particular, expectations are high not only from an industrial perspective but also in terms of talent development.

By cooperating with the Space and Aviation Agency, nearby universities and educational institutions will operate aerospace-related research and education programs, naturally leading to the cultivation of local talent and improvement of educational standards. This will serve as a solid foundation for talents to stay in the region and contribute to regional development in the long term.

The second place went to the opening of the Sacheon City Library. Sacheon-si had no municipal library until now, but on June 1, 2024, the Sacheon City Library, called the Forest Library, opened in front of Banryong Park in Jeongdong-myeon. It is expected to greatly contribute to improving citizens' quality of life and regional cultural development.

The Sacheon City Library serves as a complex cultural space where books and the wisdom of life communicate, providing citizens with opportunities to enjoy high-quality culture.

Ranked third was the ‘Nam-il Future Nam-ilmare’ project, selected in May 2024 as part of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s Regional Vitality Town project, with 64.5 billion won invested over three years from 2025 to 2027.

Fourth place was the completion of Mochung Park Golf Course, where visitors can enjoy park golf while watching the sunset inside the greenhouse; fifth place was the attraction of investment worth 442 billion won from 15 companies; sixth place was the designation of Sacheon National Military Cemetery as a national management cemetery, renamed Nuriwon.

Following these were the 2024 Sacheon Airshow attracting a record 410,000 visitors (7th), the designation of Samcheonpo Jukbangnyeom as a National Important Fisheries Heritage (8th), and the integrated operation of the Aerospace Museum and Aerospace Science Hall (9th). The final 10th place was awarded to the certification of the National Happiness Civil Service Office.

Mayor Park Dongsik said, “Through this top 10 news, we were able to look back on the valuable achievements made over the past year,” and added, “In 2025, we will continue to run tirelessly to create a new beginning and a happy Sacheon.”
