Goheung County and Council Urge Immediate Withdrawal of Gwangju Military Airport Relocation Candidate Site
Strong Opposition to Acts That Kill the Future of Goheung
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] As the controversy over the relocation of Gwangju military airport spreads from Muan and Haenam to Goheung County, the residents are strongly protesting.
On the 16th, Goheung County and the County Council announced their strong opposition, considering the Ministry of National Defense's media reports that Goheung County is being seriously considered as a candidate site for the relocation of Gwangju military airport as an act that kills the future of Goheung.
The reclaimed land of Goheung Bay is currently promoting projects such as the Smart Farm Innovation Valley, Drone Specialized Knowledge Industry Center, and Drone Specialized Industrial Complex to open a new future for Goheung.
Right next to the reclaimed land of Goheung Bay, Goheung's first resort and a large-scale tourist complex are nearing completion, making the Goheung Bay reclaimed land area a region that will lead Goheung's vision and play a key role in Goheung's development.
If the military airport is established, it will cause enormous disruption to the major ongoing projects in the Goheung Bay reclaimed land, erasing Goheung's future, and the large-scale farmland of 5.1 million pyeong will disappear at once, completely taking away the farmers' livelihoods and hopes.
Goheung County and the County Council expressed great anger at the sudden news of considering the relocation of the military airport to Goheung, stating that suddenly mentioning Goheung as a strong candidate site for the military airport is an act of ignoring and mocking the residents of Goheung.
If the Ministry of National Defense does not withdraw Goheung County as a candidate site for the Gwangju military airport, the county plans to mobilize all institutions and social organizations in Goheung, along with 65,000 residents and 700,000 Goheung natives nationwide, to strongly oppose it.

County Governor Song Guigeun stated, “Relocating a military airport that causes noise damage and hinders regional development to clean Goheung is absolutely unacceptable.
