Lee Cheolwoo, Governor of Gyeongbuk Province, said, "I am grateful that construction professionals have shown interest in the low birth rate issue and participated in the donation, even though the construction market is facing difficulties due to the economic downturn. We will ensure the funds are used meaningfully to overcome the low birth rate problem."
