기업 다음은 공공기관…통합의 두 번째 승부 (뉴스데스크 2026.7.2 광주MBC)

(Anchor) Can the Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City become a new model for balanced national development that transcends the Seoul-centric system? If the investment plan for the Honam Semiconductor Cluster is the Integrated Special City's first achievement, attracting government public institutions is becoming its second test. Here is a report by Reporter Shin Gwang-ha. (Reporter) A whopping 800 trillion won. The announcement of investment by Samsung and SK for the Honam Semiconductor Cluster marked the first corporate attraction for the Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City. If the semiconductor industry is the first step in the regional development strategy of "5 poles, 3 special zones" to overcome the Seoul-centric system, the second challenge is the second phase of public institution relocation. The President's remarks promising incentives for the relocation of public institutions to the Integrated City are raising expectations in the region. President Lee Jae-myung (Chungbuk Town Hall Meeting, last March) "If we divide them equally, one here and one there, it becomes a situation where they cannot be used." The government has classified approximately 350 institutions, including state-owned enterprises, quasi-government agencies, and other public institutions, as targets for relocation review and plans to announce the designated sites this coming September. The Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City has proposed a total of 40 institutions to the government, prioritizing 10 of them, including the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (NACF) and the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives (NFFC). As Jeonnam-Gwangju is the only place in the country to have completed metropolitan administrative integration, conditions have been established to expect the integration incentives promised by the President. Son Myeong-do / Policy Planning Officer, Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City "Because the Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special Act includes a provision stating that public institutions should be relocated to the Integrated Special City first, the institutions the Integrated Special City desires most are the NACF and the NFFC." ** However, relocating the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (NACF) and the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives (NFFC), which are special purpose corporations, requires an amendment to relevant laws. Seo Sam-seok / Chairman of the National Assembly Agriculture, Food, Rural Affairs, and Fisheries Committee "I believe that the NACF and the NFFC are strong candidate sites that Jeonnam is seeking, and we have even submitted relevant bills for that purpose." If attracting the Honam Semiconductor Cluster was a blessing bestowed upon the launch of the Integrated Special City, the attraction of a second wave of public institutions is expected to be the next test that will determine the city's success or failure.
