The Cheongseok Port Fishing Village New Deal 300 Project was selected by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries in 2022 and proceeded with a total budget of 8.15 billion won, starting construction in August 2023 and finishing all work in August 2026.

The main components of the project included reinforcing the breakwater, expanding the pier, and installing an overtopping prevention wall to enhance the safety of the fishing port. In addition, the county improved the residential environment by paving walkways, constructing retaining walls and rest areas, and building the Cheongseok Rest Center.

Through this project, Goheung County improved the aging fishing port facilities and living environment, expanded cultural and tourism infrastructure, and contributed to increasing local residents' income and revitalizing the fishing village. At the same time, the county established a leading foundation for the integrated regeneration of fishing villages and ports in line with the objectives of the Fishing Village New Deal 300 Project.

County Mayor Gong Yeongmin said, "We expect that the fishing infrastructure and marine cultural spaces created through the successful Fishing Village New Deal project will serve as a strong foundation for revitalizing the local economy and restoring vibrancy to the fishing village," adding, "We will continue to do our best to make Goheung a vibrant and attractive fishing village where people want to live and visit."
