Jinju City Mobilizes All Efforts to Secure National and Provincial Funds for 2027

Targeting 811.4 Billion Won

Reviewing Progress on Key Projects in Aerospace and Bio Industries

On May 13, Jinju City held the 'Second Status Report Meeting on Securing National and Provincial Funds for 2027' at City Hall, chaired by Acting Mayor Park Ildong.

This meeting was organized to review the progress of key projects identified during the first report meeting held in March, and to discuss strategies for securing national and provincial funds in line with the government budget schedule.

Jinju City has set its target amount for securing national and provincial funds for the next year at 811.4 billion won, focusing its administrative capacity on implementing key projects for future growth engines and regional development.

Major projects include: establishment of an AI platform for the safety evaluation of next-generation aircraft; construction of a certification test field for core materials and components in future mobility; building a Jinju branch of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art; establishment of the Korea Entrepreneurship Center; and creation of a full-cycle standardization hub for natural materials. Fostering the aerospace and bio industries, as well as revitalizing the original downtown area, are the core initiatives.

Based on the outcomes of this meeting, the city plans to strengthen its efforts in May to ensure that these major projects are reflected in the government's budget proposal during the central ministries' budget formulation stage.

Acting Mayor Park Ildong emphasized, "To secure national and provincial funds, it is essential to promptly address the identified issues through consultations with Gyeongnam Province and central ministries," adding, "Since May is a crucial period when the outline of the government budget is decided, please take active measures such as visiting central ministries and explaining the projects."
