This year's evaluation recognized Jinan County's unique initiatives, such as the implementation of the 'One Company-One Public Official' system and the establishment and operation of a rapid response team for business-related civil complaints, the production of an e-book promoting companies in the local agro-industrial complex, and the opening and operation of the multipurpose complex center in the Hongsamhanbang Agro-Industrial Complex.

Additionally, the selection of a national project worth approximately 12.8 billion KRW for the Yeonjang Agro-Industrial Complex (including the remodeling of closed factories and the creation of vibrant and beautiful streets) was seen as a positive factor, as it reflected public-private efforts to improve the environment of aging agro-industrial complexes and revitalize stagnant industrial zones.

The county plans to continue its multifaceted efforts this year to create a business-friendly city. In particular, it will focus on securing national funding for the installation of public wastewater treatment facilities in the Yeonjang and Hongsamhanbang Agro-Industrial Complexes to address the most significant challenge faced by local companies: wastewater treatment.

County Governor Jeon Chunseong stated, "Being selected as an outstanding institution for two consecutive years as a business-friendly city is an achievement made possible by the cooperation of local companies and the proactive efforts of our public officials. Through on-site administrative visits, we will continue to create a business-friendly city and actively respond to the risk of local extinction."
