At the resolution meeting, about 120 people, including the Chilgok-gun governor, construction project officials, and local design service company employees, gathered to pledge their commitment to early ordering of construction projects and achieving a rapid execution rate of over 61% in the first half of the year.

This year, Chilgok-gun plans to invest 226.4 billion KRW in 533 construction projects, including roads, rivers, rural development, and water supply and sewage systems. From the design stage, they will hold resident briefings to prevent potential complaints in advance and strive to stabilize the livelihood economy through proactive administration and preemptive financial expenditures.

Kim Jae-wook, governor of Chilgok-gun, stated, "Since this year's economic growth rate is expected to fall below 2%, early ordering and rapid execution of the county's construction projects will play a crucial role directly linked to regional economic revitalization." He added, "I urge the responsible officials to carry out construction projects with a strong sense of duty and do their best."
