Goheung County Expands 'High Oil Price Damage Support Fund' Usable at Gas Stations

Available Even for Sales Over 3 Billion Won
LPG Refueling Stations Also Included

Goheung County in South Jeolla Province (Governor Gong Youngmin) announced that it has significantly expanded the eligible locations for using the 'High Oil Price Damage Support Fund' to improve user convenience. Now, residents can use the support fund at all local gas stations and LPG refueling stations, including those with annual sales exceeding 3 billion won.

Previously, the support fund could only be used at small business establishments with annual sales of 3 billion won or less, in accordance with the guidelines for managing regional gift certificate merchants. However, since many gas stations have annual sales exceeding 3 billion won due to the nature of their business, residents had to travel far to find a station where the fund could be used, leading to inconvenience.

In response, Goheung County actively reflected the government's directive to expand eligible locations, enabling the support fund to be used at all local gas stations and LPG refueling stations regardless of their sales volume.

With this measure, gas stations with annual sales exceeding 3 billion won will also temporarily retain their merchant status until August 31. After this period ends on September 1, their merchant registration will be automatically canceled.

An official from the county's Economic and Industrial Division stated, "With the expansion of eligible locations, residents can now conveniently use the support fund at gas stations near their homes, which is expected to deliver tangible fuel cost savings." The official added, "We will continue to listen to the voices of our residents and pursue practical livelihood support policies that people can truly feel."
