In particular, region-customized projects such as △free bus fare system for all residents △expansion of night ferry operations △support for entrance celebration funds for elementary, middle, and high school students have received great responses from residents.
In addition, the county is accelerating key projects such as establishing a marine healing public enterprise, creating a supply base for the marine bio-material industry, building the National Marine Fisheries Museum, and early establishment of the National Subtropical Arboretum, steadily carrying out the projects promised to the residents.
Going forward, the county will continuously disclose the status of promise fulfillment through its website, including ‘Promises at a Glance’ and ‘Promise Map,’ to enhance transparency, and will continue to promote resident jury panel evaluations to expand communication with residents both online and offline.
County Governor Shin Woo-cheol said, “Keeping promises to residents is the top priority of county administration,” adding, “We will do our best to faithfully implement the promises so that many benefits can return to the residents.”
