Jangseong County is focusing its administrative efforts on securing budgets for key issues that will shape the region's future.

According to the county on August 10, Kim Han-jong, Jangseong County Governor, and related officials recently visited the National Assembly, where they held successive meetings with Assemblymen Lee Geontae, Jo Kyewon, Jeong Jinwook, and Yeom Taeyoung, who are members of standing committees on environment, land and infrastructure, industry, and culture.

The matters proposed by Governor Kim include: ▲ Establishment of the Forest Culture Center ▲ Construction of a northern access road to Advanced Industrial Complex (Zone 3) ▲ Installation of an Integrated Bio-Gas Facility for Organic Waste ▲ Creation of the Jangseong Baseball Stay Park project.

The “Forest Culture Center” project involves creating Chunwon Forest Memorial Garden, an educational and experiential shelter, and other facilities in the cypress forest area of Chukryeongsan Mountain. “Chunwon” is the pen name of Lim Jongkuk, an independent forester who cultivated the Jangseong cypress forest. The county anticipates that the Forest Culture Center will function as a hub for urban-rural exchange tourism, revitalizing the local economy and countering rural depopulation.

The “Northern Access Road Construction Project for Advanced Industrial Complex (Zone 3),” which is linked to the Gwangju R&D Special Zone, is an essential infrastructure initiative to strengthen the region's industrial logistics network. The current separation of roads for manufacturing and R&D industrial sites causes inconvenience for large vehicles, and the new road aims to resolve this, accelerating industrial integration.

The “Integrated Bio-Gas Facility for Organic Waste” is designed to appropriately treat livestock manure and organic waste, prevent water and soil pollution, and produce biogas. This facility will help secure renewable energy and also contribute to the national policy of promoting carbon neutrality.

The “Jangseong Baseball Stay Park” is a sports tourism complex that combines baseball training camps with extended-stay tourism. Connected to Jangseongho Sports Park, the facility will include baseball fields, indoor training centers, and team accommodation, thereby meeting athletic demand in the Jeonnam-Gwangju region and driving balanced regional development.

Kim Han-jong, Jangseong County Governor, stated, "The issues proposed are key initiatives that must be promoted not only to improve living conditions but also to enhance national competitiveness. We will do our utmost to ensure they are fully reflected in next year's government budget plan."
