An official from the county stated, "With the selection for this Fishing Village New Deal 300 Project, the restoration of port functions and the creation of a fishing village environment will improve residential conditions, activate fishing village tourism, and establish a foundation for fishing village regeneration. We plan to continue these efforts, expecting an increase in residents' income and revitalization of the fishing village economy."
