Gyeongbuk Province Selects 'Yecheon-gun Youth Center Construction' for Youth Happiness New Deal Project

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gyeongsangbuk-do announced on the 12th that it has selected Yecheon-gun's "Youth Center Construction" project as part of the first half of the 'Youth Happiness New Deal Project'.

The Yecheon-gun Youth Center construction project aims to create a permanent creative activity space of about 330㎡ on the first floor of the Yecheon-eup Administrative Welfare Center building, supporting various activities of youth such as start-ups, employment, and communication.

Gyeongbuk Province will support this project with 500 million KRW, and plans to build infrastructure and conduct pilot operations in the second half of this year so that it can be fully opened to local youth from early next year.

Since last year, Gyeongbuk Province has been promoting four projects in three local governments as pilot projects of the Youth Happiness New Deal Project: ▲ Gyeongju Youth New Golden Startup Zone ▲ Andong Youth Culture Market Support ▲ Gyeongsan Y-Star Project and Youth Hope Factory.

This year, following the Yecheon Youth Center, a public contest will be held again in the second half of the year to further expand youth activity infrastructure within Gyeongbuk Province.

Park Si-gyun, Youth Policy Officer of Gyeongbuk Province, said, "The continuous outflow of youth has put the local community in a severe survival crisis," adding, "We hope that the youth center being established this time will have a positive impact on local youth."
