Despite difficult financial conditions, Jeonju City has allocated an additional budget of 161.1 billion won to enhance welfare budgets directly affecting citizens' lives and to revitalize the local economy.

The city announced on the 2nd that it has prepared a third supplementary budget totaling 2.9566 trillion won, which is an increase of 161.1 billion won (5.76%) compared to the second supplementary budget of 2.7955 trillion won for 2026, and has requested deliberation by the Jeonju City Council.

Broken down by accounting, the general account increased by 140.5 billion won to 2.726 trillion won, and the special account increased by 20.6 billion won to 230.6 billion won.

First and foremost, the city has maximized the inclusion of welfare budgets for vulnerable groups in this supplementary budget. Specifically, allocations were made for basic pension (224 billion won), elderly job creation projects (72 billion won), support for disabled activities (68 billion won), support for home care facilities for the elderly (86 billion won), child allowances (76 billion won), and childcare fee support (27 billion won).

Additionally, the city has allocated budgets for public welfare and local economic revitalization, including funding for local currency issuance and operation (166 billion won), support for fuel subsidies in the transportation industry (123 billion won), financial support for bus transportation services (71 billion won), compensation for free transfers on city buses (14 billion won), special guarantees for small business owners (9 billion won), and reimbursement support for public transportation fees (K-Pass) (8 billion won).

Furthermore, the city allocated budgets in the cleaning sector to create a pleasant living environment, including funds for household waste collection and transportation services (174 billion won), operation of an incineration resource center (13 billion won), outsourcing of household waste treatment (8 billion won), and food and recyclable waste treatment costs (7 billion won).

At the same time, budgets were set aside for facility projects that need to be completed by the end of the year and for seamless progress of related projects with affiliated organizations. Key contents include the construction of Jeonju Independent Film House (12.2 billion won), establishment of regional rehabilitation hospitals (20 billion won), opening of access roads to the former Jarim Welfare Foundation site (20 billion won), creation of a urban forest in Tanso Industrial Complex (7.5 billion won), and establishment of an access road to Tanso Industrial Complex (underground road) (7 billion won).

The additional funds were secured through an increase in local taxes based on revised tax estimates, non-tax revenues, national and provincial subsidies, and surplus funds from the 2025 accounting closing. In the face of worsening financial conditions, the budget was prepared by canceling or reducing projects and events expected to go unimplemented, adjusting expenditure budgets such as remaining balances.

Choi Hyeon-chang, Director of the Jeonju City Planning and Coordination Office, stated, "In these difficult financial conditions, we made efforts to prioritize the stability of vulnerable groups' lives and the revitalization of the local economy in allocating the necessary projects." He also mentioned, "Once the budget is finalized, we will concentrate our administrative efforts to ensure that the plans are executed promptly."

The supplementary budget will be finalized through deliberation at the 434th Jeonju City Council's first regular session, which will take place from the 2nd to the 16th.
