Hampyeong County in South Jeolla Province announced on July 1 that it has been selected as an 'Outstanding Case of Regional Balanced Development Projects for 2025' by the Local Era Committee, marking its third consecutive year of recognition for excellence. The case chosen this year is the Jupo area 'General Rural and Fishing Village Development Regional Hub Project.'

The Local Era Committee annually evaluates the outcomes of regional balanced development projects and selects 'outstanding' local governments. It identifies and promotes successful cases to spread best practices nationwide.

Previously, in April, Hampyeong County recommended its regional balanced development project to the Local Era Committee. Following verification by an on-site inspection team, it was ultimately selected. The 'General Rural and Fishing Village Development Regional Hub Project,' recognized as an outstanding case, centers on the Hampyeong Jupo area multipurpose center, which is equipped with various convenience facilities. This project has been highly praised for enhancing the daily lives of local residents and successfully revitalizing completed rural and fishing village development districts.

The county achieved this distinction for three consecutive years by earning high marks for strengthening the foundation of community self-reliance through close cooperation with the Hampyeong Rural Revitalization Support Center, as well as through continuous management and support.

County Governor Lee Sangik stated, "Being selected as a national outstanding case for three consecutive years is a valuable achievement created through the joint efforts of the administration and local residents," and added, "We will continue to promote Hampyeong's outstanding cases nationwide as a leading model for regional balanced development."
