Bucheon City Hall

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Bucheon City, Gyeonggi Province, will support the cost of replacing old signboards for small business owners and micro-entrepreneurs severely affected by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) until the end of this month.

The support targets signboards that are old and rusted, posing a risk of falling due to strong winds, or signboards with faulty electrical wiring that pose a fire hazard.

The project budget is 100 million KRW, with up to 2.5 million KRW supported per business, and the applicant must bear at least 10% of the total cost.

The city will select 40 businesses with high scores through a first round of document screening and on-site inspection, followed by a second round of design excellence evaluation, and will notify the results individually.

Applicants who wish to apply can download the announcement for the 'Citizen Participation Signboard Improvement Support Project' from the city website, complete the documents, and submit them directly to the Advertising Maintenance Team of the Road Maintenance Division at City Hall.

A Bucheon City official said, "Last year, 28 businesses received 68.7 million KRW through this project to replace old signboards," and added, "We hope for active participation from individual business owners who want to replace their signboards."
