Over 1,000 Dobong-gu Employees Join Effort to Revitalize Local Businesses

Dobong-gu Designates and Operates "Local Restaurant Use Day" Every Friday... Encourages Use of Nearby Restaurants Instead of Cafeterias

Dobong-gu (District Mayor Oh Eon-seok) has taken steps to revive the frozen local commercial district. The district announced that every Friday will be designated and operated as "Local Restaurant Usage Day."

This measure is aimed at small business owners and self-employed individuals who are struggling due to recently weakened consumer sentiment and the disappearance of the year-end special demand.

On this day, district employees will use nearby restaurants instead of the district office cafeteria. A district official stated, "Employees have agreed to actively participate, bearing economic burdens and inconveniences, in order to fulfill their responsibilities as public officials."

The district expects that if about 1,000 employees working at the district office use nearby restaurants, it will greatly help stimulate the local economy. However, considering the use by visiting civil petitioners, normal business operations will continue, and participation by employees and residents will be encouraged through announcements and promotions.

Along with this, the district recommends year-end gatherings and dinners that comply with public service discipline in each department and advises related organizations and groups to actively hold meetings and events.

On the 27th, the district operated the first "Local Restaurant Usage Day." On that day, district employees sympathized with the purpose of the operation and used nearby restaurants instead of the cafeteria.

Oh Eon-seok, Mayor of Dobong-gu, said, "I ask that year-end events and dinners be carried out as usual in a calm atmosphere. I request everyone to participate in revitalizing the local commercial district."

The district is focusing on promoting measures to revitalize the livelihood economy to overcome the contraction of consumer sentiment caused by economic uncertainty. This month, it is conducting a "5% Dobong Love Gift Certificate Payback Promotion," and plans to implement special credit guarantee loan support and early support for small and medium enterprise development funds within the first half of next year.
