Jindo County Sets 2027 Administrative Blueprint Focused on Resident-Centered Projects

Thorough Review of Pledges, New, and Ongoing Projects of the Ninth Administration

Full-scale Promotion of Core Pledges such as Attracting the Korea Coast Guard Station and the National Seaweed Industry Promotion Institute

Jindo County, Jeonnam-Gwangju Unified Special City, has begun laying the groundwork for its county administration in 2027 by turning the key pledges of the ninth popularly elected government into concrete projects and focusing efforts on advancing policies that bring tangible changes for county residents.

The county announced that from the 7th to the 9th, a three-day '2027 Major Business Plan Report Meeting' was held in the county office conference room, where the direction of next year's county administration and major projects were thoroughly reviewed.

The purpose of this meeting was to bridge the pledges and policy directions presented since the launch of the ninth administration into specific execution projects, and to proactively establish priorities and strategies for securing funds for next year’s county operations.

With the attendance of each department head and team leader, the plans for each department’s projects were reported, categorized as new, pledged, and ongoing projects. The necessity, feasibility, expected effects, and funding strategies of the projects were examined comprehensively.

In particular, special attention was given to reviewing the direction for core projects aimed at solidifying Jindo’s future growth base, such as attracting the Korea Coast Guard station and the National Seaweed Industry Promotion Institute, which are major pledges of the ninth administration.

The feasibility of each project was closely reviewed to ensure that proposals directly linked to daily life, regional economic revitalization, and improved residential conditions will be faithfully reflected in next year’s work plan with genuine effectiveness.

Jindo County plans to set priorities and increase policy execution power by comprehensively analyzing feasibility, project impact, and financial conditions, rather than seeking to implement all of the newly identified projects and key pending issues from this meeting at once.

For key projects that are difficult to promote solely with the county’s own resources, the county plans to actively seek external funding, including securing national and city funds and linking with government or public institution open recruitment projects.

Inter-departmental collaboration will also be strengthened, breaking down barriers between offices and departments.

For major issues that cannot be solved by a single department—such as population decline, revitalizing the local economy, and improving resident welfare—related departments will respond jointly and strengthen inter-project connections to maximize policy effectiveness.

In particular, the year 2027 is regarded as a pivotal time when pledges and major policies of the ninth administration will progress beyond the planning stage to full-scale implementation and visible outcomes. The county’s administrative focus will be on creating palpable changes that residents can truly experience.

Lee Jaegak, County Governor of Jindo, stated, “2027 will be a crucial year during which our policies and pledges from the ninth government are implemented in earnest, allowing residents to feel the changes directly. We will establish a substantial plan focused on truly necessary projects, rather than a formal work plan, and strive to deliver tangible results that genuinely benefit the county’s residents.”

The county plans to supplement and finalize the 2027 major business plan by integrating feedback from this meeting, and will prepare to ensure that key projects are implemented seamlessly in connection with next year’s budgeting.
