The city held a major business plan briefing for the year the previous day, attended by Mayor Baek Seonghyeon, with the participation of five bureaus, four offices, and affiliated agencies and business offices. They decided to focus their capabilities on promoting seven projects, including the establishment of the National Defense Future Technology Research Center, the National Defense Industrial Complex, the Tapjeongho Lake Complex Cultural and Recreation Resort, and the Adventure Kids Park.

Mayor Baek emphasized, "Promoting these projects requires a bold and creative approach," adding, "It is necessary to link the ongoing projects to create synergy effects, and to develop strategies on how to utilize them for long-term management policies and the development of the local economy."

He continued, "We need to pursue comprehensive administration that considers both the present and the future. Let us steadfastly do what we must to enhance the value of Nonsan and bring happiness to Nonsan citizens through changes in the defense industry, without being swayed by various external environments."

During the briefing, discussions were held on topics such as the establishment of the National Defense Future Technology Research Center and National Defense Industrial Complex, the Tapjeongho Lake Complex Cultural and Recreation Resort and Adventure Kids Park projects, securing export channels for Nonsan’s agricultural products and creating a smart farm complex for the globalization of agriculture, the Nonsan-style population policy including education systems for nurturing future talent and youth settlement in the region, and the expansion of road, transportation, and residential infrastructure.

Additionally, preparations for the successful hosting of major events in the first quarter, such as the Jakarta, Indonesia Agro-Food Overseas Expo and the 2025 Nonsan Strawberry Festival, were intensively reviewed, along with strengthening disaster response systems before the rainy season and the swift execution of the first half-year budget.
