In particular, the meeting focused on Jeong's major pledges, including the creation of a carbon-neutral mega cluster in the old residential area of Kumho-dong, establishing Gwangyang as a finished electric vehicle production city, developing Gwangyang into a future materials specialized city for K-semiconductors, attracting a professional baseball stadium, and relocating and constructing a new dedicated soccer stadium for the Jeonnam Dragons.


Floor Leader Hyun Byung-do praised the detailed policy proposals submitted by candidate Jeong, holding them up himself as he commended the specifics.


He stated, "The key projects and requests for institutional improvements in Gwangyang were organized very systematically, with concrete plans for follow-up legislation and support from the central government. This reaffirmed for me why candidate Jeong Inhwa is considered so well-prepared and capable."


He went on to say, "Candidate Jeong Inhwa has the experience of both a National Assembly member and a mayor, so he knows better than anyone how to secure budgets and which ministries to coordinate with. With this level of preparation, as floor leader, I have no choice but to offer my support," which was met with enthusiastic applause from those present.


Candidate Jeong Inhwa also strongly requested support from the party headquarters for Gwangyang's future strategic projects.


Candidate Jeong emphasized, "The road connecting Gwangyang Port and Yulchon Industrial Complex is an essential infrastructure for the future development of Gwangyang Port, Yulchon Industrial Complex, and Yulchon 2 Industrial Complex. Since the 8th popularly elected administration began, I have submitted direct proposals even to the Speaker of the National Assembly, but we are facing a major hurdle with the preliminary feasibility study."



He added, "As this is a project that is essential for the future development of Yulchon 2 Industrial Complex and as part of the national industrial strategy, we need extraordinary support, such as exemption from the preliminary feasibility study. I urge the party headquarters to give this project special attention and support."
