Kim Jong-cheon, Pocheon Mayor, Visits Ministry of Economy and Finance to Secure 2018 National Budget

Pocheon Mayor Kim Jong-cheon visited the Ministry of Economy and Finance on the 5th to secure national budget funding for industrial complex infrastructure.

The Yangmun General Industrial Complex located in Pocheon is incurring substantial maintenance costs due to aging infrastructure, with these expenses borne by companies operating within the complex. As the global economic downturn intensifies management difficulties for tenants in the industrial complex, measures to vitalize industrial complex operations are urgently needed.

In response, Mayor Kim visited the Employment and Environmental Budget Division of the Ministry of Economy and Finance to secure project budget allocations for improving aging infrastructure in the industrial complex as a means to strengthen the competitiveness of local businesses through industrial complex operational revitalization. He presented detailed explanations on the project's justification and requested support so that 2018 national budget funding can be reflected in the government budget plan.

Pocheon Mayor Kim Jong-cheon stated, "In order to resolve local issues and secure national budget allocations, I plan to continuously visit central government ministries including the Ministry of Economy and Finance and do my utmost to ensure that Pocheon's local project initiatives are reflected in budget allocations."
