Efforts will be accelerated for projects such as the construction of a connecting road between Samseo and Gwangju boundaries, reconstruction of small bridges and small-scale hazardous facilities, and reservoir repair projects.

The county will focus on the modernization project of Hwangryong Traditional Market facilities and fostering social enterprises, while issuing Jangseong Love Gift Certificates, which greatly help residents' lives and revitalize the local economy, increasing the amount by 5 billion won to a total of 35 billion won.

A parking lot will be created near Jugong Apartments and the old Bukim-myeon Administrative Welfare Center, and additional electric vehicle charging stations will be installed to improve transportation convenience.

The premium residential complex, Deokseong Happiness Village in Nam-myeon, is planned to be developed on a 540,000㎡ site with 2,000 households, aiming for completion in 2026.

In addition, in response to many local residents' requests, the supply of city gas will be expanded, and village-level LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) pipeline networks will also be increased. The modernization project of local waterworks and maintenance of aging water purification plants, which are directly related to residents' health, will be carried out without delay.

Governor Kim Han-jong said, "A happy Jangseong for residents is the core goal of the 8th elected term," and added, "We will reflect the proposals presented through the dialogue with residents evenly in county administration and create a new Jangseong through communication and harmony."
