Ganghwa County Launches All-Out Effort to Secure 261.8 Billion Won in State Funds for Next Year

[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Ganghwa County has launched an all-out effort to secure 261.8 billion won in state funds for next year.

On December 17, the county held a "reporting conference on securing national treasury subsidies for next year" chaired by County Governor Park Yong-chul at the county office video conference room, where strategic plans to secure national treasury subsidies for 2026 were discussed in depth.

The county has set its goal for securing national treasury subsidies next year at 261.8 billion won and has adopted a policy to make every effort as a top priority of county governance. This target represents an increase of 67.1 billion won compared to the 194.7 billion won confirmed in this year's main budget.

Starting with this reporting conference, the county plans to develop strategies aligned with the government budget compilation period and launch a multi-faceted offensive.

First, the county plans to carefully ensure that major projects currently being pursued with national treasury subsidies this year continue to receive state funding next year so they can be sustainably implemented.

Specifically, these include △basic living infrastructure development projects △local management embankment repair and improvement projects △rural village sewage system improvement projects △fishing village revitalization projects △renewable energy convergence support projects △cultural property repair and maintenance projects.

The county is also actively working to secure additional state funds through discovery of new projects.

Specifically, the county plans to seek central government funding through △smart village distribution and expansion projects △local study living infrastructure development projects △Ganghwa County Southern Multi-Purpose Gymnasium construction project △Manisan historical and cultural facility development project △fine dust blocking forest development projects near residential areas △Ganghwa County smart bus shelter installation project △low-temperature distribution system establishment project.

County Governor Park Yong-chul stated, "With prolonged economic downturn and declining local allocation taxes due to insufficient tax revenue, securing national treasury subsidies and selecting competitive projects are the top priorities for our county," and urged, "Department heads should make efforts with interest, as I will personally visit central government ministries and the National Assembly and knock on doors."
