The city of Damyang, located in Gwangju, has reorganized its projects to identify feasible new initiatives.
Recently, a policy discovery meeting was held under the leadership of Park Jong-won, where 103 new projects were identified and 27 existing projects deemed ineffective were eliminated.
The new initiatives focus on expanding the resident population, establishing a foundation for future education, enhancing year-round tourism, preparing for the development of a high-tech district, connecting with metropolitan urban rail, and expanding smart agriculture.
Additionally, a long-term development strategy was discussed to foster tourism, high-tech industries, and agriculture as new growth engines in response to population decline and regional extinction.
In particular, it was decided to discard 27 initiatives that had low effectiveness or diminished necessity due to changes in policy environments.
This move is expected to save approximately 1 billion won and focus limited resources on pressing projects and new policies.
Damyang County plans to further specify new initiatives based on the feasibility of addressing local issues and the connectivity of promises, while also preparing strategies for securing external funding from national and city budgets and enhancing inter-departmental collaboration.
Park Jong-won emphasized, "The achievements of the government should not just be numbers in reports but should manifest as tangible changes felt by the residents," urging for the swift implementation of confirmed initiatives to lead to practical results.
