Lawmaker Myunggu Kang Secures 1 Billion Won in Special Grants from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety for the First Half of the Year

From Concerns Raised on Civil Complaints Day to Securing Project Funding
Commitment to Strengthening Community-Based Budget Allocation

Myunggu Kang, a lawmaker from the People Power Party representing Gumi-eul in North Gyeongsang Province, announced on May 11 that he has secured a total of 1 billion won in special grants from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety for the first half of 2026.

This includes two projects: 600 million won for the Goah Hanggokcheon (Samwoo Hilltown) riverbank reinforcement project, and 400 million won for the Hancheon local river pedestrian bridge installation project, totaling 1 billion won.

Completion of the 'Goah Hanggokcheon Riverbank Reinforcement Project' is expected to resolve crack issues caused by subsidence at the base of the existing retaining wall, thereby reducing residents’ concerns and contributing to the prevention of safety accidents for citizens.

The 'Hancheon Local River Pedestrian Bridge Installation Project' is also anticipated to alleviate the inconvenience of crossing the river along the Flower Wind Path, which stretches from Geoui Interchange to the downstream section of Hancheon, and improve a safe and convenient walking environment for citizens.

Lawmaker Kang stated, "Both of these projects originated from the concerns raised by residents on Civil Complaints Day," adding, "I would also like to thank the officials of North Gyeongsang Province, the staff of Gumi City, and the city and provincial council members for their efforts in securing the special grants."

He further emphasized, "I will continue to listen to the voices of citizens directly in the field and do my utmost to secure 'community-based budgets' so that local inconveniences and safety issues can be addressed through actual projects and funding."

This achievement reflects close attention to even the smallest voices of local residents, and further developments from Lawmaker Kang are highly anticipated.
