For projects requiring provincial funding, the city requested support for 13 initiatives, such as summer natural disaster (heatwave) response projects, improvements to the Seongsan Art Hall performance venue, joint responses to revitalize the old downtown area of Masan, and the replacement of artificial turf at the Taebaek-dong Sports Park futsal field. For NC partnership projects, the city requested support for improvements to baseball stadium facilities and the expansion of railway routes and extension of last train times.

The provincial assembly members who attended said, "Through this meeting, we were able to broaden our understanding of the direction of municipal administration under the acting mayor and exchange opinions. We promise to actively reflect today's various suggestions and take the lead in joint responses to local issues and in securing provincial funding."
