Through this completion, the county has contributed to increasing local residents' income and revitalizing fishing villages by restoring port functions and improving living conditions. It has also established a leading foundation for the integrated regeneration of fishing villages and ports, in line with the goals of the Fishing Village New Deal 300 Project.



Governor Gong Youngmin stated, "If the newly established infrastructure and surrounding facilities at Singi and Songlim Ports are utilized effectively, the fishing village community will be revitalized and new income sources will create a vibrant fishing village. We will continue to do our best to improve residents' quality of life and to create a fishing village where people want to visit and live."
