The inauguration ceremony for the 9th local government term, held at the Grand Theater of the Jangseong Culture and Arts Center on this day, was attended by over 700 people, including county residents, heads of social organizations, city and county council members, and public officials.

In his inaugural address, Kim Hanjong, Governor of Jangseong County, said, “With a heart full of hope for Jangseong’s greater growth, I am deeply grateful to the residents for granting me another opportunity,” adding, “Building on the achievements of the 8th term, such as reaching a 600 billion won budget, ushering in an era of 10 million tourists, securing the establishment of the National Cardiovascular Center, and reversing the population decline, I will work with the residents to make history with a giant leap forward during the 9th term.”

Governor Kim announced seven key priorities in areas such as advanced industries, balanced development, and welfare to realize Jangseong’s future blueprint.

First, he presented a strategy to create an “K-Semiconductor Industry Belt” in the Advanced District 3 area, aiming to establish an ecosystem for high-tech industries and grow into a central city for Korea’s future industries. At the same time, he plans to build a national medical hub where research, treatment, and the medical industry coexist in connection with the National Cardiovascular Center, and to promote the relocation of the Korea Military Academy to Jangseong to develop into a security and education hub.

He also detailed region-specific balanced development measures. The southern area adjacent to Advanced District 3 will be developed as a center for advanced industries, the northern area centered on Jangseong-eup will be fostered as a hub for tourism, residential living, and education, and the western area will be promoted as a base for smart and future-oriented agriculture. For the younger generation, support for customized living conditions will be dramatically increased, and a “Smart Innovation Youth Complex Town” will be established to make Jangseong a vibrant city for youth.

Innovation in distribution and content for agriculture and tourism will also continue. The county will advance specialized cultivation of subtropical crops and expand data-driven smart farms, as well as open an additional local food direct sales store in the Sangmu District of Gwangju. In tourism, Baegyangsa Temple, Jangseong Lake, and Chukryeongsan Mountain will be integrated into an eco-friendly “Healing Belt” to be developed as stay-type attractions, while in welfare, the county will realize “customized welfare” with no one left behind to build a strong welfare community.
