[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] A ‘Youth Startup Complex’ will be established at Pyeongnae-Hopyeong Station on the Gyeongchun Line.


Korea Rail Network Authority announced on the 5th that it signed a business agreement for the ‘Youth Startup Complex Development Project’ with Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL) and Namyangju City at Pyeongnae-Hopyeong Station.


The agreement was made for the Rail Network Authority and KORAIL to support administrative matters such as the use permit for railway land, and for Namyangju City to maintain the site and implement the project by October this year.


The Youth Startup Complex Development Project focuses on creating a youth plaza with a performance hall and market booths, a youth healing park around Pyeongnae-Hopyeong Station, and constructing a ‘Startup Campus’ as an educational space for prospective entrepreneurs.


Previously, as part of utilizing idle railway land, the Rail Network Authority established and has been operating the first daycare center inside a domestic station at Pyeongnae-Hopyeong Station last year. It has also contributed to youth job creation and regional economic revitalization by creating startup and cultural arts platforms under the Ansan Gojan Station and Chuncheon railway overpass.



Kim Sang-gyun, Director of the Rail Network Authority, said, “Our authority will strive to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with local governments by utilizing idle railway land and provide practical help for regional development.”
