[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Mayor Noh Hyun-song) is promoting the "Beautiful Signboard Street Creation Project" in the Gangseo-ro and Gomdallae-ro areas.

The district will invest about 1.7 billion KRW by November to renovate 700 signboards out of 841 businesses located in the Gangseo-ro and Gomdallae-ro areas that are old or unsuitable for outdoor advertising.

The project supports the replacement cost of one signboard per business on the condition that existing old illegal signboards are removed and replaced with energy-saving LED signboards, with a maximum support amount of 2.5 million KRW per business.

In May, the district plans to form a Signboard Improvement Residents' Council consisting of building owners, store owners, and resident representatives, and sign a business promotion agreement to actively reflect residents' opinions from design to planning and selection of construction companies.

Additionally, to create a distinctive premium street that reflects local characteristics and individuality, the district will receive design advice from the "Gangseo-gu Outdoor Advertising Review Committee" and incorporate unique designs and fonts by industry as much as possible.

With this project, the disorderly illegal signboards on Gangseo-ro and Gomdallae-ro will be renovated, creating a safe street environment and greatly improving the urban landscape.

In particular, distinctive and unique signboards that reflect the individuality of businesses are expected to provide residents visiting the area with a new visual experience.

Mayor Noh Hyun-song said, "Since 2009, starting with Gonghang-daero, we have been steadily promoting the Beautiful Signboard Street Creation Project to create a pleasant urban environment," and added, "We will do our best to create a unique and beautiful street only found in Gangseo-gu."

In March, the district completed the Beautiful Signboard Street Creation Project in the Garo Park-ro area, receiving positive evaluations for creating a comfortable and clean streetscape.
