[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Shin Woo-cheol) announced on the 10th that Nodu Village in Wando-eup was selected as the first priority project in Jeollanam-do in the ‘2020 Regional Demand Customized Support Project’ contest hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, securing a total project cost of 2.5 billion KRW over three years (80% national funding, 20% county funding).

The Regional Demand Customized Support Project is aimed at growth-promoting areas to improve the quality of life of local residents and revitalize the regional economy. It allows for the implementation of various projects desired by local residents, resulting in high resident awareness and satisfaction.

Main projects include alley expansion and soil hill reinforcement, pedestrian environment improvement, sewage system maintenance in spaces with foul odors from domestic wastewater, creation of communication paths connecting neighboring villages, and improvement of living welfare environments, as well as resident community platform exhibitions and healing content projects.

In particular, through this contest selection, the foul odor space caused by domestic wastewater flowing down the market on the 5th day in Nodu Village, Wando-eup, will be transformed into a small park through sewage system maintenance.

This is expected to provide residents with a resting place and meeting spot by improving the environment that has suffered from severe odors, household waste, and pests such as mosquitoes and flies.

The county has responded to various contest projects to revitalize the declining old downtown area of Wando-eup (Jungang, Judo, Seoseong, Yongam, Hangdong, Nodu-ri), and was selected for the small-scale regeneration project (Hangdong-ri) in 2018, the small-scale regeneration project (Jungang-ri) and regional demand customized support project (Yongam-ri) in 2019, and the Saetteul Village project (Hangdong-ri) in 2020.

Lee Han-il, chairman of the Nodu-ri Residents’ Council, said, “We are grateful to the county officials who worked hard to have Nodu Village selected for the Regional Demand Customized Support Project.”

Shin Woo-cheol, governor of Wando-gun, said, “The selection for the Regional Demand Customized Support Project is a valuable achievement made together with local residents,” and added, “We will continue to discover projects for local residents to improve their quality of life and do our best to realize a hopeful future Wando where everyone prospers.”
