Cheorwon County in Gangwon Province has outlined 128 promises for its 9th term, with a total financial investment of 860.4 billion won. The county will hold a final report meeting on the 15th to assess the feasibility of each project and the funding plans.


According to Cheorwon County, the meeting will take place at 10 a.m. on the 15th in the county hall's conference room, chaired by County Mayor Kim Dong-il. Department heads will report on the direction and investment plans for their respective projects, and attendees will discuss any necessary adjustments.


In terms of funding, the county budget accounts for 425.1 billion won, which is approximately 49.4% of the total. The national budget contributes 173.3 billion won, the provincial budget adds 79.3 billion won, and other sources provide 182.7 billion won. This amount reflects the currently reviewed investment plans and does not indicate secured or executed budget amounts.


The number of promises has increased from 127 to 128. This change resulted from the review of projects and policy proposals suggested by the transition committee, leading to the integration or separation of certain initiatives. A total of 20 departments are involved in the implementation. Cheorwon County began establishing action plans for the 127 promises in July.


Notably, the investment figures do not include national projects such as the establishment of the Cheorwon National Forest Healing Center and the expedited construction of the Pocheon-Cheorwon Expressway. Therefore, the 860.4 billion won should not be interpreted as the final project cost for all promises.


The county plans to finalize the action plans based on feedback from the meeting and manage the progress of the promises. Mayor Kim stated, “We will examine the feasibility of the projects and the financial plans to ensure that the promises lead to changes in the lives of our residents.”
