A "preliminary village enterprise" is selected through a screening process by Gwangju Metropolitan City as a preliminary stage before becoming a village enterprise designated by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

"Dabok Village" and "Sodamine" passed the preliminary village enterprise screening through their interest in the region and various community activities.

Going forward, the two preliminary village enterprises will provide opportunities for income and job creation to local residents and lay the foundation for growth into village enterprises by realizing the benefits of the local community.

The 10 million won project fund provided through this selection will be used for product development, education, consulting, and other preparations for establishing the village enterprises.

Im Taek, Mayor of Dong-gu, said, "I hope that the preliminary village enterprises that signed the agreement will grow into distinctive village enterprises of Dong-gu that can contemplate and solve local problems together," and added, "We will continue to discover village enterprises that can revitalize the local economy, expecting a virtuous cycle where the profits generated through village enterprises return to the village and help establish the village community."
