Despite ongoing economic downturns and difficult national financial conditions, persistent efforts to request national government support have been rewarded by the Ministry of Environment, allowing the project to proceed with a total budget of 44 billion KRW to build a livestock manure treatment facility with a daily capacity of 160 tons.

Accordingly, starting this year, Yeoju City and Yeoju Livestock Cooperative plan to fully commit to the project, beginning with the establishment of a basic plan and environmental impact assessment services, aiming to complete the project by 2027.

This livestock manure treatment facility project holds greater significance as it was prioritized as a pledge project of the 8th local government after being twice canceled due to resident opposition, and through thorough preparation and meticulous strategy, national funding was secured with full effort.

Furthermore, it is expected to alleviate the difficulties faced by livestock farmers struggling with manure treatment and to have a positive impact on resolving livestock odor issues.

Mayor Lee Chung-woo stated, “Now that we have secured national funds with difficulty and are accelerating the project, we will repay the community by building a livestock manure treatment facility without odor as a coexistence facility between local residents and livestock farmers, creating a better living environment than before.”
