Boryeong Mayor Eom Seung-yong has initiated a comprehensive restructuring plan for Cheongra-myeon, focusing on three key pillars: renewable energy industry transition, tourism development, and industrial activation. This strategic shift aims to transform the region's economy away from its historical dependence on coal and thermal power generation.
The mayor's vision includes attracting the integrated headquarters of five power generation companies to the region, coupled with the establishment of renewable energy business divisions specializing in offshore wind, hydrogen, and solar power. These initiatives are designed to position Cheongra-myeon as a hub for clean energy development and innovation in the post-coal era.
Beyond energy sector transformation, the development strategy seeks to create synergies across multiple economic sectors by organically connecting energy, tourism, agriculture, and transportation infrastructure. The plan emphasizes leveraging the region's natural assets, including the development of Cheoncheon Lake for tourism purposes, while simultaneously revitalizing the agricultural-industrial complex.
The overarching goal of this integrated approach is to generate sustainable income sources and employment opportunities for local residents, ensuring economic stability and growth as the region transitions away from traditional coal-based industries toward a diversified, renewable energy-focused economy.
