[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] Changwon City in Gyeongnam announced on the 15th that it held the final report meeting for the establishment of the basic plan and feasibility study for the construction of the Industry, Labor, and History Museum at the Citizen Hall.

The museum is one of Mayor Heo Seong-mu's campaign promises and held a kickoff meeting last September. About 20 promotion committee members, including Heo Jeong-do, chairman of the museum construction promotion committee, attended the final report meeting, where the research team from Changwon University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation reported on the basic concept and site analysis of the museum.

The main contents included overall matters related to the museum construction such as the museum scale, budget securing, exhibition plans, and collection acquisition methods. The construction is being promoted on a site of 35,000㎡ at 159-1 Jungang-dong, Seongsan-gu, with a total building area of 131,500㎡.

Based on the results of the feasibility study, the city plans to apply for an evaluation to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in July to pass the first administrative procedure in the second half of the year, the "Preliminary Evaluation for the Establishment of a Public Museum," and aims to actively promote the construction project with a design competition scheduled for next year.
