Then, on the 19th, he met with budget officials at the Ministry of Economy and Finance in the Sejong Government Complex to explain the importance and expected effects of major pending projects and proposed their inclusion in the national budget.

The major projects proposed by Governor Kim include: ▲ Creation of the East Coast National Trail ▲ Yeongdeok National Geopark Ecological Trail Project ▲ Establishment of a Wind Power Maintenance Workforce Training Center ▲ Construction of the Ganggu-Chuksan section of National Route 20 ▲ Establishment of a Deep-Sea Marine Bio Bank ▲ Creation of the Whale Sea Rest Area ▲ Chuksan Port Fishing Port Function Improvement Project, among others.
