Hwasun-gun Selects Geumnong and Haedong Villages for 'Vulnerable Area Living Conditions Improvement Project'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Young-gyun] Geumnung Village in Iyang-myeon and Haedong Village in Cheongpung-myeon, Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gu Chung-gon) have been selected in the “Vulnerable Area Living Conditions Improvement Project” contest hosted by the Presidential Committee on Balanced National Development.

According to the county on the 5th, a total of 127 locations nationwide were selected in this contest, and among 29 locations in Jeollanam-do, two villages in the county were chosen.

The “Vulnerable Area Living Conditions Improvement Project” will be carried out over three years, mainly to ensure the basic living standards of residents in vulnerable areas by significantly expanding living infrastructure such as ▲ slate roof improvement ▲ old house maintenance ▲ fence and retaining wall repair ▲ village road expansion ▲ traditional toilet maintenance.

It also supports software projects such as human care for revitalizing the community, including elderly care and health management programs, and capacity-building projects.

Geumnung Village and Haedong Village are remote from the town and township centers and have been marginalized areas that did not benefit from economic development. This project is expected to greatly contribute not only to village development but also to improving residents’ quality of life.

A total of 4.635 billion KRW will be invested over three years in the living conditions improvement projects for Geumnung Village and Haedong Village.

A county official said, “We deeply appreciate the active determination of local residents and public-private cooperation until the project was selected in the contest,” and added, “We will continue to discover vulnerable area villages that have not yet had opportunities and improve their living conditions.”
