Gwangju City to Invest 10.9 Billion Won in Resident Support Projects for Development Restriction Zones Next Year
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 10th that a total of 17 projects were selected for the 2021 Greenbelt Resident Support Projects, with a total budget of 10.9 billion KRW invested.
Among these, 8 living convenience projects and 7 environmental and cultural (public contest) projects within the greenbelt were selected in September as part of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's Greenbelt Resident Support Projects. However, as a result of active efforts to secure national funding in the National Assembly last month, 2 additional projects and 2.5 billion KRW in national funds were secured, increasing the national funding by 58% from 6.1 billion KRW this year to 9.7 billion KRW, giving momentum to the promotion of resident support projects.
The detailed projects include 8 living convenience projects such as road expansion and paving, 1 reservoir repair and reinforcement project, 1 welfare promotion project, and environmental and cultural (public contest) projects including 4 Nuri-gil trails, 2 leisure green spaces, and 1 landscape project.
In particular, with 7 environmental and cultural projects selected, it is expected that a pleasant recreational space will be created not only for greenbelt residents but also for urban citizens, greatly improving the quality of life for the citizens.
Since 2001, Gwangju City has invested a total of 91.7 billion KRW (73.3 billion KRW national funds, 18.4 billion KRW local funds) in 211 projects in the greenbelt, improving living convenience projects such as village access roads, water supply and sewage systems, agricultural drainage channels, and small streams, as well as implementing environmental and cultural projects such as Nuri-gil trails, leisure green spaces, and landscape projects as part of the greenbelt resident support projects.
