Jangseong County has demonstrated its economic prowess, ranking 4th nationally in the comprehensive evaluation of the 2023 Republic of Korea Regional Economic Awards, securing a Silver award. This accomplishment stands out in the Jeolla region, marking a notable achievement for the county.

In addition to the overall accolade, Jangseong achieved impressive results in specific categories. The county received the 'Best in Investment Attraction' award and a 'Silver' in the Regional Innovation category, achieving a remarkable triple crown.

The 'Republic of Korea Regional Economic Awards' evaluate 9 categories, including employment, local prices, investment attraction, corporate support, alley economy, cultural tourism, agricultural economy, regional innovation, and economic leadership. The assessment, conducted from April to November, considers official statistical data and other quantitative indicators.

Jangseong's exceptional performance, earning the Silver award in the comprehensive evaluation, underscores its commitment to economic growth and potential. The county garnered attention with the establishment of the 'National Cerebrovascular Research Institute in Jangseong,' a long-awaited project finalized in July. Anticipated benefits include the creation of over 12,500 jobs, population influx, and the propagation of a healing economy integrating healthcare and tourism.

Noteworthy is the success of the 'Jangseong Kakao Data Center' investment agreement, valued at 490 billion won. This initiative is expected to play a pivotal role as a catalyst for the activation of advanced industries based on data, such as cloud services.

The recognition in the Investment Attraction category further solidifies Jangseong's position. Scoring high in indicators like investment attraction interest and trade performance, the county secured the 2nd spot nationwide.

The Silver award in the Regional Innovation category acknowledges Jangseong's innovative potential, particularly in the Jangseong Nano Industrial Complex and the Donghwa-myeon Agricultural Industrial Complex.

Mayor Kim Han-jong expressed his satisfaction, stating, "The achievement of the Silver award in the 1st Republic of Korea Regional Economic Awards is a significant milestone, reflecting the efforts of our citizens and public officials to elevate the future value of our region. In the new year, we will build upon these accomplishments to open new chapters in Jangseong's development."

In addition to this recognition, Jangseong received high marks in the 'Local Price Stability Management Performance Evaluation' conducted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety last year, earning an excellent grade for both the first and second halves of the year and securing an additional 15 million won in special grant funds.

Jangseong County continues to position itself as a regional economic powerhouse, aiming for sustained growth and recognition on the national stage.
