Jindo County in South Jeolla Province has formed a dedicated task force and begun developing future growth strategies in preparation for the launch of the Jeonnam Gwangju Integrated Special City.

On March 19, Jindo County announced that it held a meeting of its Jeonnam Gwangju Integrated Special City Response Task Force (TF) in the county office conference room, where it reviewed strategies to proactively respond to policy changes resulting from the launch of the integrated special city and checked its response system for identifying key strategic projects.

The meeting also discussed directions for discovering related industries based on the planned 3.6-gigawatt (GW) Jindo Offshore Wind Power Cluster.

Jindo County has organized the task force into five sectors: policy planning, administrative support, regional development, specialized industries, and tourism & culture. The dedicated organization plans to focus on developing practical regional advancement projects, including the establishment of a comprehensive response strategy for the integrated special city, expansion of infrastructure, fostering of agricultural, fisheries and energy industries, and the enhancement of tourism infrastructure for extended stays.

In particular, as the government is considering financial and policy support of approximately 20 trillion won in connection with the launch of the integrated special city, the county aims to proactively identify projects that align with these plans and ensure their inclusion in both national policy and the integrated special city's mid- to long-term development plans.

An official from Jindo County stated, "The launch of the integrated special city is an important opportunity to accelerate the development of Jindo County," adding, "We will proactively respond throughout the entire process, from project identification and policy reflection to securing national funding, with the task force at the center."
