Jeonju City Reapplies for 2020 Government Urban Regeneration New Deal Project... Determination 'Burning Bright'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Gominhyeong] Jeonju City announced on the 26th that it will reapply for the 2020 government Urban Regeneration New Deal project contest.

Last year, the city applied for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's Urban Regeneration New Deal project wide-area selection contest with the Taepyeong and Daga areas and the Inhu and Banchon areas, and for the Urban Regeneration New Deal recognition project with the Seonosong Art Village cultural and artistic creation space project, but it was unsuccessful.

A city official stated that this year, they have smoothly completed the preliminary administrative procedures for the contest, including establishing an activation plan reflecting the evaluation committee's supplementary opinions presented during the 2019 contest evaluation and promoting changes to the urban regeneration strategic plan.

The city is currently promoting four Urban Regeneration New Deal projects throughout the city, including traditional culture-centered urban regeneration, Jeonju Station area, Yongmeori Yeouiju Village, and Seohak-dong Art Village; four Saetteul Village development projects including Namnosong-dong Saetteul Village; and the Urban Regeneration recognition project 'Daga Seodang Project' in Daga-dong.

Kim Seongsu, head of the city's Urban Regeneration Division, said, “We will strive to revitalize the aging downtown, improve basic living infrastructure and living environment, and promote urban regeneration projects that citizens can feel.”
