Gochang-gun to Significantly Expand Public Parking Lots by the End of This Year

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jae-gil] Gochang-gun, Jeonbuk announced on the 20th that it will address the chronic parking shortage this year by establishing public parking lots in Wolgok New Town 2nd Public Parking Lot in Gochang-eup, as well as in Mujang-myeon and Simwon-myeon.

The Wolgok New Town 2nd Public Parking Lot will be created on the site of Wolgok New Town in front of the Buddhist Hall. With an investment of 150 million KRW, a total of 40 parking spaces will be constructed by the end of June.

The two parking lot projects near Mujang Eupseong and next to Simwon Post Office will be completed in the first half of the year, securing a total of 57 parking spaces.

In addition, the county is also promoting the construction of the ‘Gochang-gun Public Parking Tower’ with a total capacity of 360 spaces by next year to resolve the inconvenience of civil petitioners visiting the county office and illegal parking in the Gochang-eup downtown area.

A Gochang-gun official said, “Due to the lack of public parking lots, illegal parking has been rampant in major downtown areas of Gochang-gun, causing great inconvenience to residents. We will do our best to significantly expand public parking lots this year to minimize inconvenience to residents and provide various conveniences.”
