Accordingly, 400 million KRW in special grants from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety will be invested to create a public parking lot.

The Ocheon Port breakwater extension project is being promoted to minimize property damage to local residents by ensuring safe berthing of vessels during bad weather, and to expand docking facilities corresponding to the number of fishing boats and improve living conditions for local residents.

Representative Kim Hoe-jae announced that he secured 300 million KRW in special grants from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety for the Ocheon Port breakwater extension project.

Representative Kim said, “Financial support from the central government is essential for balanced regional development,” and added, “I expect that the special grants in the first half of the year will improve the livelihood and safety of local residents.”

He also added, “Furthermore, I will do my best to ensure that projects for the development and future of Yeosu City proceed smoothly under the new government.”
