Changwon City to Create 'Chef's Street' of Popular Restaurants in Jungang-dong, Seongsan-gu
Jungang-dong Theme Street Selected for Ministry of the Interior and Safety's 'COVID-19 Overcome Alley Economy Recovery Support Project' Competition
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kang Sharon] Changwon City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 8th that the "Jungang-dong Gourmet Chef Street Project" was finally selected in the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's contest for the Alley Economy Recovery Support Project to overcome the COVID-19 crisis.
The Alley Economy Recovery Support Project is a program that helps alley communities independently resolve and overcome issues within commercial districts, such as economic recession, weakened consumer sentiment, and vacant stores caused by business closures or suspensions.
This year, to restore alley commercial districts facing management crises due to COVID-19, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety selected 10 commercial districts nationwide, providing 800 million KRW per district (400 million KRW from the national government and 400 million KRW from local governments), totaling 8 billion KRW for the project.
The city will implement the project targeting about 30 stores located within the Jungang-dong themed street selected in this contest. Leveraging the characteristics of Jungang-dong, where restaurants that have preserved citizens' tastes for decades are densely concentrated, the city plans to create a differentiated "Chef Street" to revitalize the area as a representative gourmet district of Changwon.
