Uiwang City Mayor Kim Sung-je stated, "This achievement is the result of all staff members doing their best to manage finances for local economic revitalization in a difficult economic crisis situation," and added, "We will continue to actively push forward with budget execution in the second half to minimize carryovers and unused appropriations."
