Yeosu City Provides 1.5 Billion KRW Support for Slate Disposal Assistance Project

Targeting 380 Residential Buildings... Apply to the Building Location's Eup, Myeon, or Dong by the 29th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Yeosu City (Mayor Kwon Oh-bong) announced on the 7th that it will promote a slate disposal support project this year with a budget of over 1.5 billion KRW.

The support scale includes a total of 380 buildings: 300 residential slate disposal supports, 50 roof renovation supports for vulnerable groups, and 30 non-residential slate disposal supports. The costs from demolition to collection will be paid through companies selected by the city.

The residential slate disposal support targets houses with roofs or walls made of slate, providing up to 3.44 million KRW per household based on 120㎡ for demolition costs.

For 30 vulnerable households, 6.1 million KRW will be supported for roof renovation, and for slate buildings that are not houses such as small-scale livestock sheds and warehouses, 6.88 million KRW will be supported based on 50~200㎡.

The city plans to reduce the economic burden on residents by substituting any remaining balance after disposal or for houses under 120㎡ with local government funds for roof renovation costs.

Citizens wishing to participate in the project can apply at the town or township offices and dong community centers where the buildings are located by the 29th.

Project recipients will be selected based on priority criteria for socially vulnerable groups such as basic livelihood security recipients.

A city official said, “The demolition of slate containing carcinogens will help improve the residential environment and promote citizens' health,” and added, “We hope for active interest and participation from citizens.”
