The Hwachun County Council has been conducting site inspections and visiting local residents throughout October. Chairman Jo Woong-hee and seven council members have been reviewing the progress of regional development projects and engaging with residents at welfare, education, and cultural events.
According to the council, from October 13 to 21, they undertook a seven-day schedule to assess the status of major county projects in five towns and villages as part of the '2026 Major County Project Site Inspection.' This initiative aims to identify issues in project implementation and explore improvement measures.
On the first day, October 13, the council visited three sites: the Urban Regeneration Support Center, the North Han River Riverside Development Project, and the construction site of the Hwachun Administrative Welfare Center and integrated public rental housing. Council members listened to updates from officials and checked on areas needing improvement.
On October 20, they visited four additional sites, including the Sangseo-myeon Herbal Village, a public livestock waste treatment facility, the Eco-Friendly Energy Town project, and the Emotional Theme Literature Park. The inspections covered a range of rural and environmental infrastructure as well as cultural and tourism facilities.
The projects under review are closely linked to residents' living conditions, including housing, environment, and regional development. The council focused on hearing explanations on-site and verifying the actual progress of each project.
Chairman Jo stated, “Major county projects are closely tied to the lives of residents and regional development, so it is crucial to thoroughly examine the progress on-site. Through this inspection, we will closely identify issues and areas for improvement in each project, and the council will continue to pay attention to ensure residents can feel tangible results.”
The council also continued its schedule of visiting welfare and education sites. On October 21, they attended the '2nd Peace House Harmony Festival' held at the indoor gymnasium of the Sanai Sports Park, where Chairman Jo, Vice Chairman Lee Sun-hee, and all council members encouraged participants and officials.
On the same day, Vice Chairman Lee and several council members attended the Sorinuri Festival at Sanai Elementary School, where they watched performances prepared by students. Vice Chairman Lee expressed a commitment to fostering an educational environment where students can showcase their talents and grow.
In the evening, Chairman Jo and several council members attended a humanities lecture by Jeong Kwan-yong at the Hwachun Community Center, where they engaged with residents on the theme of 'Communication in Hwachun.'
Earlier, on October 12, all council members participated in the Women's Agricultural Day event held in Hongcheon. They also expressed gratitude to seniors and veterans during the celebrations for Senior Citizens' Day and Veterans Day, emphasizing their commitment to welfare and recognition.
