In Gyeongsangnam-do, officials and citizens are actively campaigning for the relocation of public institutions to Jinju to complete the Jinju Innovation City. 

Approximately 2,000 citizens held a resolution rally to advocate for a second wave of institutional relocation from the Seoul metropolitan area. Key demands include the retention of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) headquarters and the establishment of an integrated headquarters for power generation public enterprises. Proponents suggest that utilizing existing facilities, such as the Korea South-East Power headquarters, could save over 300 billion won in construction costs.

In support of these efforts, Gyeongsangnam-do officials visited the National Assembly to meet with lawmakers. They are seeking cooperation for the relocation of five power generation public enterprises and the preservation of the Naval Academy in Jinhae. The province aims to attract agencies that align with regional strategic industries, including shipbuilding, nuclear power, aerospace, and defense.
