Letter Sent to 107 Comprehensive Construction Companies in Busan
Governor Jeong Jong-bok Requests Active Participation
Emphasis on Local Employment and Use of Local Materials
Ordinance Enacted to Promote Local Construction Industry

On the 17th, Busan's Gijang-gun took the lead in revitalizing the local construction industry by sending a letter under the name of County Governor Jeong Jong-bok to 107 comprehensive construction companies in the Busan area.


In the letter, Governor Jeong appealed for active participation in Gijang-gun's policies to revitalize the local construction industry, aiming to revive the sluggish construction market amid rapidly changing circumstances and to promote mutual growth between large construction companies and local firms.


He especially requested special consideration to ensure that local companies participate more actively in ongoing construction sites, use local materials and equipment, and employ local workers, thereby providing tangible benefits to the local economy.


The county has enacted the "Ordinance on the Promotion of the Revitalization of the Local Construction Industry in Gijang-gun, Busan Metropolitan City," which actively encourages the priority employment of local construction workers and the use of local construction machinery.


Additionally, the county plans to thoroughly monitor the rental rates of local construction machinery to check performance and promptly implement improvement measures for any deficiencies.



Governor Jeong Jong-bok stated, "Cooperation from major comprehensive construction companies that drive the local economy is essential to improve the conditions of the stagnant local construction industry," adding, "We will do our best to combine our capabilities to strengthen the competitiveness of local construction companies and revitalize the local economy."
