Support Municipalities: Action Committee and Party Hope

support municipalities: Under the project, the government and the LDP are considering sending specialists to regions where Olympic legacy plans with specific regional revitalization measures are to be drawn up, the sources said, according to The Japan Times. In a proposal to be compiled by the end of this month, the LDP's Headquarters for the Action Committee for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games is likely to call for such a council to be set up. The central government and the ruling Liberal Democratic Party hope to use the council, to comprise the central and local governments and private sector, to support municipalities and local businesses trying to revive regional economies by taking advantage of the 2020 Games, said the sources familiar with the situation. The proposal is likely to be reflected in economic and fiscal policy guidelines that the government plans to craft in June, the sources said. Representatives from the central and municipal governments and companies are slated to discuss regional economic revitalization measures topic by topic, such as sports tourism promotion and joint events by municipalities. The council is expected to consolidate information about Olympics and Paralympics-related policy measures from various government agencies, including the Cabinet Secretariat, the industry ministry and the education and sports ministry.
