#IncheonNews #btvNews #SKBroadband [Anchor] Currently, Incheon has three designated free economic zones: Songdo, Yeongjong, and Cheongna. The Incheon Economic Authority plans to designate the southern tip of Ganghwa Island as a free economic zone to foster future high-tech industries. The process for this has begun in earnest. This is reporter Lee Jeong-yoon reporting. [Article Content] Incheon was the first country to be designated a free economic zone. The combined area of ​​Songdo, Yeongjong, and Cheongna is 122.42㎢. Since its designation in 2003, the development rate has exceeded 90% over the past 20 years. While investment demand is increasing, available land is insufficient. For this reason, the Incheon Economic Authority is pushing to expand the free economic zone. The first phase of the project covers 6.32㎢ in Gilsang-myeon and Hwado-myeon in Ganghwa County. The plan is to invest 3.1 trillion won by 2035, focusing on fostering green bio and smart agriculture. The Incheon Economic Authority (IFEZ) has reported this development plan to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and has begun the process for additional designation in earnest. [Ahn Gwang-ho / Head of the Yeongjong-Cheongna Business Division, IFEZ] "Until now, the southern part of Ganghwa was a subject of policy review and internal review, but as of yesterday (the 15th), it has transitioned to a subject of government-level discussion." Several procedures remain for the southern part of Ganghwa to be designated as a free economic zone. It must be formally submitted to the agenda after consultations with relevant ministries and review by an evaluation team. The IFEZ aims for final designation by March of next year. Once designated as a free economic zone, the southern part of Ganghwa will be developed into a future high-tech industrial hub and a global tourism destination. [Ahn Gwang-ho / Head of the Yeongjong-Cheongna Business Division, Incheon Economic Free Zone Authority] "Bio products have no choice but to rely on air logistics. In fact, the distance from Incheon Airport to the southern tip of Ganghwa is shorter than the distance from the airport to Songdo. Therefore, airport accessibility is quite good." Ganghwa County, a depopulated area, is bound by various regulations. Attention is focused on whether the Free Economic Zone designation can provide a new foundation for growth.
