Jincheon-gun is spurring the establishment of an economic powerhouse. Jincheon-gun is spurring the revitalization of the economic sector and establishing itself as a sustainable economic powerhouse.
Last year, the military established a ‘strategy to promote economic city activation to open the era of USD 90,000 per capita GRDP’ and announced that it would invest KRW 4.4 trillion by 2026.
Earlier this year, we prepared a separate detailed implementation plan for 2024 to focus our administrative power, and we set this year’s goal as ‘achieving 1 trillion won in investment attraction for 9 consecutive years’, and are putting all our efforts into promoting 24 projects from each department as key projects.
First, the investment attraction situation, which is the seed for regional economic development, is very positive.
Following the successful start of the year with the signing of investment agreements worth 149 billion won with three companies scheduled to move into the Technopolis Industrial Complex, Seohan Innobility Co., Ltd., Hosung Machinery Co., Ltd., and Geumgang Enterprise Co., Ltd., the company has signed agreements worth approximately 600 billion won with a total of 11 companies.
In the second half of the year, it is expected that the record of attracting 1 trillion won in investment will be easily extended to 9 years as it is expected to sign an agreement worth 600 billion won with companies interested in investing, including Gwanghyewon Logistics Center.
We are also continuously carrying out environmental improvement projects for existing agricultural and industrial complexes to create a business-friendly environment that will lead to additional investment from existing companies.
The military is also accelerating the creation of infrastructure and facilities that can link the creation of quality jobs that began with attracting investment with actual population growth.
Related projects include: △Jincheon-eup urban regeneration New Deal △Construction of an outer ring road △Creation of a multipurpose gymnasium in Jincheon Sports Town △Expansion of public sewage facilities △Creation of a family-specific space in Chungbuk Innovation City △Continued promotion of K-smart education △Cultivation of cutting-edge talents in agriculture and rural areas △Creation of 7,000 Jincheon-type jobs, etc.
In addition, the military is expanding support to reduce the management burden on small business owners who are struggling amid the prolonged high interest rate trend and to promote local economic revitalization.
By supporting a portion of the loan interest difference through secondary collateral support for small business owners, we are receiving great satisfaction from small business owners who are experiencing financial difficulties.
In addition, we plan to increase policy effectiveness by expanding financial support through the establishment of the (tentative name) Saenggeojincheon Euteum Loan, which is scheduled to be implemented in 2025.
In addition, we are expanding the operation of the ‘Small Business Small-Scale Management Environment Improvement Project’ to improve the store management environment, the ‘Good Price Store Operation’ to provide quality service to consumers with low prices and a pleasant environment, and the Chungcheongbuk-do public delivery app ‘Meokkaebi’, which is being operated again this year with an investment of 20 million won in military funds following last year, to increase the management competitiveness of small business owners.
We cannot leave out the operation of Jincheon Love Gift Certificates, which prevents the outflow of local consumption and revitalizes the local economy.
Jincheon Love Gift Certificates, which operate in three types: tributary, mobile, and card, are being operated with a total of 30 billion won this year, following the issuance of 32.3 billion won last year, despite the government support budget being significantly reduced.
Instead of reducing the purchase discount rate from 10% last year to 8% this year, the purchase amount per person was expanded from 600,000 won to 700,000 won, thereby breathing new life into the local economy.
The number of affiliated stores increased by 179 from 8,853 last year to 9,032, showing that Jincheon Love Gift Certificates are establishing themselves as a major means of consumption in the region.
Jincheon County Governor Song Gi-seop said, “The situation is not easy due to the decrease in tax revenue, but we will pool our wisdom with 800 public officials and 90,000 Jincheon County residents to overcome this difficult time and revitalize the local economy, and create a better economic city, Jincheon.”
