One of the goals that Cheongsong-gun puts the most emphasis on this year is ‘Culture and Sports Cheongsong’. Therefore, Cheongsong-gun is determined to do its best to realize the goal by investing 15 billion won in the culture, sports, and transportation fields this year under the slogan “Building a healthy Cheongsong through culture and sports with the citizens”.
First, we focus on revitalizing the arts and culture to create a happy cultural Cheongsong that the citizens of the military can enjoy together. In addition to hosting high-quality cultural and artistic performances, cultural arts and cultural programs in which citizens participate by supporting various cultural arts programs by supporting cultural education lectures, revitalization of culture and arts clubs, expansion of cultural Nuri Card subsidy, operation of local culture love rooms, and fostering of cultural and artistic groups Lay the foundation for enjoyment.
The Namgwan Living Culture Center, which opened last year as a cultural art foundation project, will be actively used as an art exhibition space and a complex cultural space to satisfy the needs of local residents to enjoy culture and arts and to improve the quality of life. The 「Ioduk Fairy Tale Street Creation Project」 will also invest 600 million won in program services and facility infrastructure to create a unique cultural village where residents can voluntarily participate, and through this, they plan to contribute to the vitalization of the local economy.
Next, we will strive to systematically and continuously preserve and manage the valuable cultural heritage of the region so that it can be handed down to future generations and used as a unique historical, cultural and tourism resource of Cheongsong.
To this end, we plan to secure KRW 2.4 billion in cultural heritage preservation and management expenses, systematically repair and manage national and provincial cultural assets, establish disaster prevention facilities, and strive to manage and reorganize local cultural heritage and local materials scattered throughout the region.
In addition, following last year, this year, we plan to actively excavate and investigate cultural assets with historical, cultural and architectural values in the region, and put all our efforts into designating them as national and provincial-designated cultural assets.
Last year, Yeongsanhoesangdo of Daejeonsa was designated as a tangible cultural property, and this year, we will strive to designate important local cultural heritages as cultural assets to enhance the value of the region’s precious cultural heritage so that citizens can feel proud.
In addition, through various programs such as the vivid cultural properties project with the characteristics of Cheongsong and the Hyanggyo Seowon cultural property utilization project, we will take it as an opportunity to transform it into a local cultural property together with the residents. We plan to make further efforts to turn it into a tourism resource.
Next, we will do everything we can to improve the quality of life and health of citizens by establishing a location as a mountain sports city and expanding sports facilities. Cheongsong-gun, which is holding back for a while due to the corona virus, but has secured an international brand called ‘Cheongsong Ice Climbing World Cup’, also held a mountain bike competition (April), Nakdong vein climbing competition (May), dry tooling competition (July), and Cheongsong this year. Various seasonal mountain sports competitions are held to revitalize leisure sports tourism, such as Apple Trail (September) and National Motorcycle Championship (October).
In particular, this year, 14 national level tournaments and 30 small and medium-sized tournaments will be held to revitalize the local economy that has been stagnated due to the corona virus. It is expected to play a role in revitalizing small businesses and the stagnant local economy and revitalizing tourism by hosting large-scale national competitions such as the middle and high school kendo contest, the 5th national elementary school kendo contest, and the 1st youth baseball contest.
In addition, a total budget of KRW 5.1 billion will be spent on the construction of Cheongsong Outdoor Golf Driving Range, Cheongsong County Citizens Stadium Remodeling Project, and Hyeondong Tennis Court hard court installation, etc. to be.
Finally, by improving public transportation services, we will secure the traffic safety of the citizens and enhance the convenience of use. In order to provide convenience to residents in using public transportation, 4 billion won will be provided to support operation of 1,000 won taxis and loss of non-profitable routes for rural buses.
In addition, in order to solve the parking problem near Mt. Juwang that occurs during the autumn leaves season every year, a total project cost of 10 billion won is invested in the area of Sang-ri, Juwangsan-myeon to create a parking lot for 840 cars. We plan to proceed smoothly with the goal of completion.
