[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do, is investing a budget of 89 million KRW to promote the 'Slate Removal and Roof Improvement Support Project' targeting 225 houses (including 20 roof improvements).

According to Yeonggwang-gun on the 13th, this project involves slate removal and disposal by a specialized slate processing company commissioned by the county. Support is provided up to 3.44 million KRW for houses and auxiliary buildings, up to 1.72 million KRW for non-residential buildings such as warehouses under 50㎡, and up to 6.88 million KRW for those between 51 and 200㎡. Any excess costs must be borne by the applicants.

The support targets houses and auxiliary buildings with slate roofing materials, prioritizing vulnerable groups (basic livelihood security recipients, lower-income groups, etc.) and linked projects such as vacant house maintenance.

Applications can be submitted to the town or township offices and the Urban Environment Division at the building's address by the 26th of next month.

A county official stated, “Through the slate disposal support project, we plan to remove slate roofs, which are classified as Group 1 carcinogens, to protect the health of residents and create a pleasant living environment,” adding, “We hope for the active interest and participation of the residents.”
