Gwangju City Supports 5.1 Billion KRW for Autonomous District Road Lighting Maintenance Costs

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 2nd that it will provide a budget of 5.1 billion KRW for road lighting maintenance to its five autonomous districts.

Gwangju City supports the road lighting maintenance budget every year, taking into account the financial situation of the autonomous districts.

This year's support funds include 2.1 billion KRW for streetlight electricity bills, 1 billion KRW for replacing LED security lights in residential areas, and 2 billion KRW for maintenance of streetlight facilities.

As a key project, 1,800 old security lights within the region, including areas with high installation demands from residents such as crime-prone areas and densely populated multi-family housing areas during nighttime travel, will be replaced with LED security lights.

Additionally, areas with old streetlight facilities that pose safety accident concerns will be prioritized for maintenance of lighting, wiring, and poles.

Im Nam-jin, head of the city's Road Division, said, “We will increase support projects for autonomous districts, such as maintenance of old streetlight facilities, to alleviate citizens' anxiety and create bright and safe night streets.”
