[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City is accelerating the promotion of key projects such as the Daejeon Station Complex Transit Center by activating the Station Area Development Task Force (TF).

On the 8th, the city held a TF meeting chaired by Deputy Mayor Seo Cheol-mo to check the progress of projects underway in the Daejeon Station area by department.

The TF is led by Deputy Mayor Seo. The meeting began with a policy research report from the Daejeon-Sejong Development Institute on restoring the function of the west plaza of Daejeon Station, followed by a review of the status of 10 projects, including plans for the complex development of the Daejeon Station Complex Transit Center in the station area.

The core tasks of the station area development project include ▲ devising feasible plans to restore the function of the west plaza of Daejeon Station ▲ preparing strategies to attract public institutions for the relocation to the Innovation City ▲ reviewing the construction of the Daejeon Station Complex Transit Center and utilization plans for the upper space ▲ promoting cultural regeneration projects through preservation and utilization of the Sojedong railway staff village ▲ improving flood-prone areas along Daedongcheon Stream and eco-friendly river maintenance ▲ realizing housing welfare for vulnerable groups through the creation of public housing districts in the jjokbangchon (shantytown).

The city plans to establish detailed development plans centered on the TF so that projects related to the Daejeon Station area can be integrated with the Korean New Deal and AI-based projects to realize a smart-green city, and to ensure that related projects proceed at a rapid pace.

Deputy Mayor Seo said, “We will accelerate project promotion to develop the area around Daejeon Station into an economic hub where residential, cultural, business, and industrial functions harmonize, enabling Daejeon to lead national development.”
