Goheung County Successfully Holds 'Regional Development Forum' with Residents

Touring 10 Towns and Villages
Actively Reflecting Residents' Opinions in County Administration

Goheung County, South Jeolla Province (Governor Gong Youngmin) announced that the "2025 Regional Development Forum with Residents," which began on the 7th, is proceeding smoothly with the active participation of village heads, women's association leaders, heads of institutions and social organizations, and residents interested in county affairs, all representing the local community.

Since 2023, Goheung County has moved away from the previous method of visiting towns and villages mainly to collect suggestions for regional development projects. Instead, the county now selects specialized regional development topics for each town, such as income generation, tourism revitalization, and population inflow, and engages in forums where residents can share their opinions and discuss these issues together.

This year, the forum proceeded in the following order: an explanation of the direction of the 8th popularly elected county administration, a report on the progress of residents' long-awaited projects in 2023-2024, suggestions and responses regarding residents' projects for 2025, a presentation of the regional vision by the town/village heads, and finally, a regional development discussion with residents.

The regional visions presented by the town and village heads were discussed directly by Governor Gong Youngmin, who presided over the forums, listening to residents' opinions and seeking practical solutions for regional development. Various opinions raised through these active discussions will be continuously managed and reflected in the future direction of county administration and the establishment of customized development strategies for each town and village.

Meanwhile, starting with Jeomam-myeon on the 7th and continuing through Dongil-myeon on the 14th, regional development forums have been completed in 10 towns and villages. On the 28th, forums will be held in Goheung-eup and Duwon-myeon. Separate forums for Gwaryeok-myeon, Namyang-myeon, Donggang-myeon, and Daeseo-myeon are scheduled to be held after the Goheung County Council by-election (Na electoral district) on April 2.
