Cheongyang Countywide Movement Promotion Committee Convened

The 'Smart Cheongyang' campaign in Cheongyang, Chungnam has shown significant results in revitalizing the local economy.

Cheongyang County announced on the 11th that, through the 'Smart Cheongyang' campaign, a total of 172 billion KRW in consumption was achieved as of November this year across ten key sectors, including the activation of local currency and job creation.

On the 10th, the county held the '2024 2nd Smart Cheongyang Countywide Campaign Promotion Committee' in the county office's main conference room and reported these major achievements for the year.

The Smart Cheongyang campaign is a community movement that aims to revitalize the local economy and encourage resident participation.

The Smart Cheongyang Countywide Campaign Promotion Committee promoted the importance of local economic revitalization by sending letters and producing and distributing posters to small business owners such as companies, restaurants, and market merchants from June to September, encouraging participation in Smart Cheongyang.

In particular, 244 residents participated in the SNS restaurant recommendation event held from June to October, and seven of the recommended restaurants were selected as the '2024 Most Recommended Restaurants.' These restaurants are being promoted through the county's SNS and website, and promotional plaques will be delivered by the end of the year.

The county plans to further expand the Smart Cheongyang campaign in 2025.

In March next year, in accordance with regulations, the third promotion committee will be formed with up to 50 members, including heads of major organizations and local activists, to further strengthen the campaign's activities.

The county also plans to diversify SNS participation events and increase their frequency to expand resident participation.

Kim Dongon, the county governor, stated, "The Smart Cheongyang campaign is a task that must continue as long as Cheongyang County exists," and added, "In 2025, we will do our best to ensure that it spreads as a community-wide movement of love for the region and becomes the center of establishing a virtuous cycle in the local economy."
