Jeongeup-si Strengthens Competitiveness of 3rd General Industrial Complex... Activation Expected

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City in Jeonbuk announced on the 16th that it will embark on a full-scale regeneration project for the aging industrial complex to strengthen the competitiveness of the 3rd General Industrial Complex and transform it into a hub for regional growth and job creation.

Earlier, the city was finally selected last year for the Aging Hub Industrial Complex Competitiveness Enhancement Project and the Industrial Complex Complex Cultural Center Contest Project promoted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation.

Accordingly, the city plans to officially issue a design service contract for the industrial complex regeneration project and establish a detailed business plan by June next year.

The aging hub industrial complex regeneration project is a project to renovate and expand the aging infrastructure of the 3rd General Industrial Complex and efficiently reorganize the changing industrial structure to strengthen competitiveness.

It supports facilities to enhance the competitiveness of the industrial complex, such as the installation of surface parking lots, sidewalk maintenance, eco-friendly green park maintenance, and renovation of aging industrial water facilities.

The city will sequentially issue related service contracts such as surveying and environmental impact assessments, and complete the project by 2023 after going through feasibility verification procedures by the Korea Research Institute for Human Settlements.

Along with this, the city will build a complex cultural center with concentrated cultural, welfare, and convenience functions in the 3rd General Industrial Complex, receiving 2.8 billion KRW in national funds and 360 million KRW in provincial funds.

The complex cultural center is a public facility with concentrated cultural and convenience facilities. The architectural design contest has been completed, and construction is scheduled to start in April next year, aiming for completion by June 2022.

The city expects that once the complex cultural center is built, it will greatly contribute to improving the welfare environment of workers in the industrial complex and nearby residents and attracting young people by providing cultural, welfare, and convenience services.

Mayor Yoo Jin-seop said, “Through successful project implementation, we will do our best to improve the working conditions of workers in tenant companies and strengthen the function of attracting young and technical personnel so that it can be transformed into a growth hub for the regional economy.”
