The county plans to respond in line with the central government and Jeonnam Province’s core strategies, such as the government’s Green New Deal and carbon neutrality policies and Jeonnam’s Blue Economy, to ensure that the newly discovered projects proceed without any setbacks.

Administrative procedures such as investment review, fiscal impact assessment, and application for public projects will also be proactively undertaken.

In particular, in addition to government projects, as various projects that were implemented through the National Balanced Development Special Account have been significantly transferred to local governments due to the promotion of fiscal decentralization, the county will closely analyze changes and trends in local fiscal conditions and prepare active response measures.

A county official said, “We will thoroughly prepare to successfully attract large-scale projects next year so that they can become the driving force for the future development of Boseong County.”
