Gwangju Seo-gu, Yudeok-dong Launches Full-Scale Construction of 'Beodeulmaeul Multipurpose Center'

Jeonnam Regional Post Office and Post Office Site Purchase Contract Signed

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City has officially launched the construction of the long-awaited 'Beodeul Village Multipurpose Center' for the residents of Yudeok-dong.

On the 14th, Seo-gu announced that it signed a purchase contract for the site of the Yuchon-dong Post Office with the Jeonnam Regional Post Office.

The Beodeul Village Multipurpose Center construction project was promoted as compensation for residents due to the construction of the Gwangju Urban Railway Line 2 vehicle depot, but it had faced difficulties due to construction delays, site acquisition challenges, and conflicts among local residents.

The district initially pursued construction by securing park land, but after failing to find a resolution with Gwangju City and encountering obstacles, it found a solution through building purchase plans.

After obtaining information on the sale of the Yuchon-dong Beodeul Village Post Office, active purchase negotiations were conducted with the Jeonnam Regional Post Office, ultimately securing the site for the multipurpose center.

This project, which is now being actively promoted after many twists and turns, is an achievement realized through collaboration among institutions such as Gwangju City and the Jeonnam Regional Post Office, thanks to Seo-gu administration's persistent efforts.

The Yudeok-dong Multipurpose Center aims to complete administrative procedures such as urban planning changes and building permits, undergo remodeling, and open in October next year.

A Seo-gu official said, “The multipurpose center to be promoted this time will reflect residents' opinions and be used for installing unmanned civil service issuance machines, operating resident autonomy programs, and meeting rooms,” adding, “It is expected to complement the functions of the Yudeok-dong Community Center, which is concentrated around Deokheung Village, and provide better administrative services to residents.”

Meanwhile, the installation cost of 2.5 billion KRW for the Yudeok-dong Multipurpose Center is planned to be fully supported by city funds: 300 million KRW this year, 1.1 billion KRW next year, and 1.1 billion KRW in 2022.
