[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Urgent local projects such as disaster prevention and the promotion of residents' cultural and leisure activities in Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City have gained new momentum.


Song Gap-seok, Member of the National Assembly (Democratic Party of Korea, Gwangju Seo-gu Gap), announced on the 6th that he secured a total of 700 million KRW in special grants from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, including 300 million KRW for the construction of the Sangmu Citizen's Park National Sports Center and 400 million KRW for the replacement of aging sewage pipes within Seo-gu.


Sangmu Citizen's Park, where the National Sports Center will be newly built, is a cradle of community sports in Gwangju frequently visited by many citizens, but after 20 years since its establishment, there have been many difficulties in use due to insufficient facilities.


Through the construction of a community-oriented National Sports Center, it is expected to greatly contribute to expanding sports facilities, revitalizing community sports, and improving citizens' health.


The aging sewage pipe replacement project will take place in four locations, including Yeomhwa-ro-gil in Seo-gu. The existing aging buried sewage pipes posed a risk of sinkhole formation, raising many concerns among citizens about pedestrian safety.


This replacement project is expected to significantly contribute to preventing pedestrian safety accidents for nearby residents.



Assemblyman Song said, "Over the past two years, I have managed urgent projects throughout Seo-gu by securing 12 billion KRW in special grants from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Ministry of Education for Seo-gu, including the construction of the Sangmu Citizen's Park National Sports and Health Center." He added, "I will continue to do my best to secure various national funds such as special grants and public contest projects to improve living conditions and the quality of life for residents in Seo-gu."
