The city plans to check the progress of each stage of the investment projects, listen to difficulties in execution, and strengthen field-centered, life-oriented administration, aiming to execute 1.1297 trillion won in the first half of the year.

Park Youngmi, the Budget Officer, said, “This is a time when a proactive and preemptive role of local finance is necessary to recover the local economy, which has been depressed due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. We will accelerate the core investment projects with significant economic ripple effects to achieve results that citizens can feel and be satisfied with.”
