To this end, the district is promoting the ‘2020 Jegi-dong Gamcho Village Housing Improvement Support Project’ from this month until October.

This project aims to improve the residential environment and urban aesthetics of the area by supporting repairs of old houses within the Jegi-dong Gamcho Village urban regeneration New Deal project zone.

The district is investing a total of 400 million KRW in urban regeneration project funds, supporting 90% of the construction costs per household, up to a maximum of 11.17 million KRW.
