Assemblyman Lee Byung-hoon Secures 1.3 Billion Won Special Grant for 'Resident Convenience and Urban Regeneration' Projects

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Lee Byung-hoon, a member of the National Assembly (Democratic Party of Korea·Gwangju Dong-gu Nam-gu Eul), announced on the 6th that he secured 1.3 billion KRW in special grants from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety for resident convenience and urban regeneration in Dong-gu and Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City.

The selected projects this time include 400 million KRW for the creation of a complex cultural space in Chungjang-ro, 500 million KRW for the establishment of an urban regeneration New Deal hub space in Sajik-dong, and 400 million KRW for the construction of a soccer field attached to the Dong-gu multipurpose gymnasium. These special grants were secured as the Ministry of the Interior and Safety selects and provides funds for urgent local projects.

The Chungjang-ro complex cultural space project aims to revitalize the declining Chungjang-ro 4 and 5 ga wedding street by creating a Hanbok jewelry education and experience center and a multipurpose exhibition space within the Chungjang 22 Center, which will be open regularly as a cultural space.

The Sajik-dong urban regeneration New Deal hub facility project is to establish a resident activity hub facility essential for promoting the urban regeneration New Deal project in the Sajik-dong area. The secured budget is expected to accelerate the resident-centered project implementation.

The Dong-gu multipurpose gymnasium attached soccer field project involves creating a resident soccer field in the Jiwon 2-dong area. Since the current soccer field in Yongsan-dong cannot meet the required space, a new soccer field will be constructed behind the multipurpose gymnasium.

Assemblyman Lee Byung-hoon listened to the necessity of project promotion through consultations with the district office and meetings with residents, and after negotiating with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety to request support for urgent projects, he was able to receive the special grant support allocated for the last time this year.

Lee said, “Dong-gu and Nam-gu are original downtown areas with very limited available land, making it very difficult to create resident convenience facilities and urban infrastructure,” adding, “With the secured special grants, we will be able to improve efficiency through remodeling or restructuring of existing buildings.”
