[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Community Security Council of Jinju-si, Gyeongnam, announced a statement titled "Resolute Opposition to the Patchwork LH Innovation Plan" at 11 a.m. on the 21st in the briefing room of Jinju City Hall.

In the statement, they demanded ▲ the establishment of measures for decentralization and balanced development instead of dismantling LH ▲ the collection and reflection of local residents' opinions wishing for regional economic revitalization rather than an innovation plan that kills local areas ▲ the preparation of reasonable measures that coexist with the region through fundamental analysis of the LH incident's problems.

Chairman Heo Heon-do said, "LH is a symbol of the Jinju Innovation City in Gyeongnam and a crystallization of national balanced development, having significant economic and social effects on the local community. However, due to this incident, there are concerns that it will cause considerable damage to local economic development and welfare enhancement," and added, "We strongly urge a reconsideration to align with the grand principle of national land balanced development and to achieve co-prosperity with the region."
