[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 5th that the Jindo-eup area was finally selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's 2020 Urban Regeneration New Deal Project.

Through this project selection, a total budget of 11.5 billion KRW has been secured for three years from next year until 2024.

The areas selected for the Urban Regeneration New Deal Project in Jindo-eup, including Seongnae, Namdong, Ssangjeong, and Gyodong-ri, have long faced urgent issues such as population decline, aging buildings, lack of residential regeneration and basic living infrastructure, and the need to restore the village community.

So far, by establishing the Urban Regeneration Support Center, various support organizations including residents, local governments, and experts have cooperated through resident education, promotion, and expert consultation to discover projects within the region and strive for selection in the Urban Regeneration New Deal Project.

With this project selection, various initiatives will be promoted to improve residential conditions and revive the village landscape, including the Okju-gil revitalization project, Namdonggol residential environment improvement project, and the creation of the Arari Youth Creative Center.

In particular, the county secured 6.4 billion KRW last year by being selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's ‘Urban Regeneration Recognition Project,’ and this time secured an additional 11.5 billion KRW, giving momentum to the promotion of the Jindo-eup urban regeneration project.

A representative from the Jindo-gun Regional Development Division said, “This selection was possible because local residents, related organizations, and public officials gathered their wisdom and united their voices as one,” and added, “We plan to focus administrative efforts on promoting projects so that various projects for revitalizing Jindo-eup are organically connected and the old downtown of Jindo-eup can be newly reborn.”
