The plan includes the exemption of childcare fees for second and subsequent children as part of its efforts to support child-rearing. The announcement was made by Mayor Takashima at a press conference on the 15th. Fukuoka City&#8217;s general account budget for the next fiscal year will total over 1.49 trillion yen, exceeding one trillion yen for the third consecutive year. To support child-rearing, the city will exempt childcare fees for second and subsequent children from April, without income restrictions or other requirements. In addition, the city plans to develop a pipeline to supply hydrogen for power generation as part of its efforts to achieve a carbon-free society, using the site of the former Hakozaki campus of Kyushu University for urban development. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.city.fukuoka.lg.jp\/data\/open\/cnt\/3\/105783\/1\/kaiken_R5_tokushoku.pdf?20230215145228\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fukuoka City<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20230215\/5010019238.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NHK<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-151575\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fnn_fukuoka-city-hall_2023_WEB.jpg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fukuoka City Announces Budget Proposal Exceeding One Trillion Yen\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fnn_fukuoka-city-hall_2023_WEB.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fnn_fukuoka-city-hall_2023_WEB.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fnn_fukuoka-city-hall_2023_WEB.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fnn_fukuoka-city-hall_2023_WEB.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Get Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu area news and events in English regularly.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sign up for our <\/span><b>free<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> weekly newsletter.
