Banners are being used on the road in front of City Hall to promote the Renaissance Comprehensive Development Plan, and next year, the area will be expanded to include Jungang-dong.

Additionally, large promotional banners will be displayed at crowded places such as the airport and train station to promote a participation campaign linked to the "Yeosu Renaissance Five Major Practice Movements," and a citizen forum is planned for the first half of next year.

A citizen who participated in the briefing session said, "I sympathize with Yeosu's 100-year future plan," adding, "It is even more interesting to know that my thoughts and opinions are reflected in such a good plan to pass on a livable Yeosu to future generations."

Mayor Jeong Gi-myeong of Yeosu said, "The realization of the Yeosu Bay Renaissance Comprehensive Development Plan requires the interest and participation of citizens," and added, "We will gather opinions through various methods in the future to incorporate the will and colors of citizens into the blueprint for Yeosu's 100-year future."

Meanwhile, Yeosu City has allocated a budget of 16.7 billion KRW for 14 projects in next year's main budget to accelerate the promotion of the Renaissance Comprehensive Development Plan.
