[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] As the need for an integrated space to expand the functions of multicultural family support centers and provide universal family services centered on local communities has been raised, Goheung-gun is expected to gain momentum in its promotion after being selected for a public contest project.

On the 2nd, Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that its family center construction project was finally selected in the 2021 Living SOC Complexification Public Contest Project promoted by the National Balanced Development Committee, securing 1.5 billion KRW in national funding.

The family center is a space that supports customized services needed for various family types, including multicultural and dual-income couples as well as general residents, to solve difficulties such as care and communication faced by families.

The center will be operated on a site at 400 Namgye-ri, Goheung-eup, with a total building area of 1,450㎡, consisting of one basement floor and two above-ground floors, including family communication spaces, play communication spaces, multipurpose exchange spaces, education, counseling and care spaces, and family counseling rooms.

The selected family center will receive a total investment of 3 billion KRW, including 1.5 billion KRW in national funds and 1.5 billion KRW in local funds, with the project starting next year and scheduled to open in May 2022.

County Governor Song Guigeun said, “We will make every effort in preliminary preparations such as various permits and approvals to ensure that the selected project proceeds as planned,” adding, “We will create an opportunity for improving the quality of life of local residents and promoting harmony among citizens through connection and communication among residents.”
