On October 2, Goryeong County held a policy briefing session at the Dae Gaya Hall of the county office, attended by about 40 people, including Acting County Governor Gwangho Jung, National Assemblyman Heeyong Jung, Youngwan Na, Chairman of the County Council, and Seonghwan Noh, Gyeongsangbuk-do Provincial Assemblyman.

During the meeting, participants shared updates on the progress of major local projects and discussed cooperation measures for initiatives that require support from the National Assembly and the central government.

Goryeong County, in particular, requested support for 13 projects, including: the prompt advancement of the Nonggong-Dasan-Habin local road construction project; the Daegaya commercial district revitalization project; the establishment of the National Daegaya Cultural Heritage Research Institute; the construction of the National Goryeong Museum; elevating the Goryeong Janggi-ri Petroglyphs to National Treasure status; and the designation of the Green Bio Industry Promotion Zone.

Assemblyman Heeyong Jung remarked, "The National Assembly, Goryeong County, and the County Council must operate as one team," and added, "I will carefully address local livelihood issues during the National Assembly audit and the deliberation of the national budget."

Acting County Governor Gwangho Jung stated, "The National Assemblyman, the County Council, and the executive branch must cooperate closely to resolve major regional issues," and added, "We will strengthen discussions with central ministries and the provincial government to ensure these proposals translate into tangible results."

Since resolving Goryeong County's key issues ultimately depends on securing national funding, cooperation with the National Assembly is expected to determine the outcome.
