Uiwang City Selected as Top Performer in Ministry of the Interior and Safety's First Half Rapid Execution Evaluation

[Suwon Ilbo=Seo Dong-young] Uiwang City announced on the 13th that it has been selected as a "top performer" local government in the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's "2020 First Half Rapid Execution Final Evaluation."

Uiwang City, which received the top performer award, secured an institutional commendation and special allocation tax incentives.

In this evaluation, the city achieved 133.5% in rapid execution, 121.6% in consumption and investment, and 104.9% in job creation, following "excellent" ratings in 2018 and 2019, and achieving "top performer" results this year.

This achievement was made possible through close cooperation between departments in allocating funds and expanding advance payments and billing progress payments to accelerate the execution of facility investment projects. The first supplementary budget of 84.7 billion won was also executed immediately upon passage by the city council.

Additionally, the city held monthly reporting meetings led by Vice Mayor Cha Jeong-suk to ensure rapid execution of project funds. Particularly for major investment projects, the city regularly monitored progress and swiftly responded to the COVID-19 crisis and local economic downturn, concentrating on fiscal execution to revitalize depressed private consumption and investment.

Mayor Kim Sang-don of Uiwang City stated, "This achievement is the result of all city officials working as one to overcome the COVID-19 crisis and actively contributing to fiscal execution and people's livelihoods," and added, "In the second half, we will make revitalizing the local economy our top priority and wisely promote various policies."
