Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 15th that it held an expert roundtable discussion on the 12th at the county office Academy Hall to devise activation plans for the 8th term administration’s pledge project, the ‘Creation of 5 Major Food Streets.’
More than 60 participants, including experts in culture, tourism, food, dining industry, and regional development, as well as local residents such as merchant association members and mobile vendors, Jangseong County Governor Kim Han-jong, and members of the Jangseong County Council, attended to exchange a wide range of opinions.
One of the key pledges of the 8th term administration, the ‘Jangseong 5 Major Food Streets Creation Project,’ aims to revitalize the local economy by establishing food-specialized streets in five districts.
In March, the county enacted the ‘Jangseong-gun Food Specialized Street Creation and Support Ordinance’ and formed a dedicated task force.
Currently, a feasibility analysis and activation plan for the project are underway.
Governor Kim Han-jong stated, “To create food streets uniquely specialized to Jangseong, we plan to actively listen to experts in various fields and the opinions of residents going forward,” adding, “We ask for your cooperation so that this can become a food tourism content representing Namdo, the land of flavors.”
Starting with this roundtable, the county plans to hold additional sessions to gather opinions from experts, residents, and various sectors. The collected opinions will be reflected in the final selection of the 5 major food street candidate sites and the establishment of differentiated activation strategies.
