Expanding SOC Through the Creation of a Balanced Development Fund

Kim Gilsung, Mayor of Jung-gu, is pushing to expand social overhead capital (SOC) as a key initiative in the 9th popularly elected administration, with plans for an extra-large district library and public parking lots.


According to Jung-gu Office on June 5, Mayor Kim returned to work on June 4 after being re-elected in the June 3 local elections, and outlined this direction for district administration during a tea meeting with senior officials. The funding for these projects is planned to be secured by establishing the "Jung-gu Balanced Development Fund."

In addition, the district plans to expand projects that closely support residents' daily lives, including supplying Jung-gu-style public rental housing for young people, introducing the Naepyun Preferential Savings Account, launching indemnity insurance for seniors, operating the Naepyun Call Taxi service, building an integrated support center for companion animals, and providing support for cervical cancer vaccinations. Jung-gu intends to finalize detailed implementation plans for major pledges ahead of the official launch of the 9th administration in July this year.



Mayor Kim stated, "While the 8th administration laid the foundation for changes in Jung-gu, the 9th administration will be a period in which residents can truly experience those changes," adding, "I will deliver tangible results for a greater future for Jung-gu."
