[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 15th that it has passed the Ministry of Industry's review, the first administrative procedure for the construction of the 2nd Exhibition Hall.

The 2nd Exhibition Hall, to be built on a site of about 18,000㎡ in the first parking lot of the Kim Dae-jung Convention Center in Chipyeong-dong, Seo-gu, will have two underground floors and four above-ground floors, including exhibition facilities, conference facilities, common facilities, and parking lots.

The project cost is expected to be 112.5 billion won.

Kim Jun-young, Director of the Culture, Tourism and Sports Office of the city, said, “We will proceed smoothly with the remaining administrative procedures. If the construction of the 2nd Exhibition Hall is completed as planned in 2023, it is expected to inject new vitality into the regional economy through the high value-added MICE industry.”
