Mayor Kang Seok-ju said, "We hope that the Gyeongsangnam-do Provincial Najeon Chilgi Technical Training Center, located within the Modern Historical and Cultural Space Regeneration Activation Project area, will be developed and utilized as a space for exchange of modern history and cultural arts in accordance with its founding purpose, and become a new cultural content of Tongyeong City."
