Chungnam Province Attracts Fisheries and Ports Corporation's West Sea Branch to Naepho... Signal for Public Institution Relocation

Chungcheongnam-do (Governor Kim Tae-heum) has fired the first shot in earnestly attracting public institutions from the metropolitan area by securing the Korea Fisheries Infrastructure and Ports Authority's West Coast Branch in Naeposi New Town. On the 19th, Governor Kim Tae-heum signed a three-party memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Korea Fisheries Infrastructure and Ports Authority Chairman Hong Jong-wook and Hongseong County Mayor Lee Yong-rok at the provincial government situation room, announcing that the branch will begin official operations starting with its opening ceremony next month. For Chungcheongnam-do, a central hub for fishing villages, this marks the definitive establishment of a local base. The Korea Fisheries Infrastructure and Ports Authority is the representative public institution in the fisheries and fishing village sector, responsible for managing national ports, promoting aquaculture industries, and implementing the Fishing Village Renewal 300 project for fishing village regeneration.
