First Official Approval: Expansion of Guro Love Gift Certificate Issuance

Jang Inhong, the mayor of Guro District, announced that he officially began his duties on the 3rd.

Without a separate inauguration ceremony or preparation period such as forming a transition committee, Mayor Jang immediately started work. His first official schedule on the morning of the 3rd was greeting employees arriving at the district office entrance at 8:40 AM, shaking hands with each of them.

He then signed the office handover documents with the deputy mayor in the mayor’s office and held a casual meeting with the heads of the district office departments.

Afterwards, he visited the Guro District Council chairman’s office, where he spent about 20 minutes exchanging greetings with Chairman Jeong Daegun and other council leaders, urging and promising close cooperation to improve the quality of life for district residents.

The inauguration ceremony was replaced by the 2nd quarter regular staff assembly held at 10:30 AM at the Guro Art Valley Arts Theater without any commemorative events.

In his inaugural speech, Mayor Jang outlined a blueprint for a major transformation of Guro District and the direction of district administration.

Specifically, he mentioned ▲ transportation innovation including the undergrounding of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway Line 1, relocation of the Guro train depot, remodeling of Guro Station, and prompt promotion of the New Guro Line ▲ public-private cooperation for redevelopment and reconstruction ▲ creating a child-friendly educational city by increasing school environment improvement funds and establishing a lifelong learning center ▲ revitalizing the local economy and creating jobs through expanded issuance of the Guro Love Gift Certificate ▲ building a warm and safe community by expanding welfare infrastructure ▲ and developing an ecological and cultural city with barrier-free forest trails and 15-minute neighborhood gardens.

He also emphasized, “With a sense of mission and the attitude of ‘Ichungdeuksim (以聽得心)’?listening to understand the heart?I believe that the current issues we face will surely be resolved. I will meet residents ten times, twenty times over with strong determination to communicate and resolve conflicts between residents and administration.”

In the afternoon, he began full-scale work by approving major district tasks in his office.

The first approval was for the “expanded issuance of the Guro Love Gift Certificate.”

Regarding this, the district explained that it reflects Mayor Jang’s commitment to making boosting sales for small business owners struggling due to the economic downturn, revitalizing the local economy, and improving people’s livelihoods a top priority.

Following this, he plans to visit Hwawon Senior Center, Guro G-Valley Gymnasium, Segok Senior Center, the barrier-free trail construction site at Onsu Neighborhood Park, and the KBS transmission site complex cultural town in sequence to carefully inspect the sites and assess current issues.
