In the Hyucheon-myeon meeting, some local residents raised concerns about drinking water shortages and requested the expansion of water supply infrastructure. There were also suggestions for improving the environment of village halls and senior centers.
During the Sudong-myeon meeting, opinions were gathered on replacing aging water supply systems, maintaining sewage facilities, and improving household waste treatment facilities. Residents also discussed ways to enhance the environment of senior centers and strengthen transportation networks between villages.
Finally, at the Yurim-myeon meeting held on August 26, the need for maintenance of village drainage channels and flood prevention works was raised. Improvement work is expected to proceed following on-site inspections in the future.
Governor Jin Byungyoung stated, "I believe that the answers to Hamyang County's development lie in the valuable voices of each and every resident," adding, "I will do my utmost to actively reflect the opinions gathered through these meetings in county administration so that residents can experience tangible changes."
