[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam, has been selected for the government’s ‘Vulnerable Area Living Conditions Improvement Project (Saetteul Village)’ for three consecutive years.

On the 9th, Sancheong-gun announced that two locations, Cheokji Village in Sancheong-eup and Gusa Village in Danseong-myeon, were selected as project sites for 2021, securing a total project budget of 3.8 billion KRW.

The county was selected for the Saetteul Village project for three consecutive years following the 2019 improvement project in Obu-myeon Ojeon District (2.3 billion KRW), and the 2020 selection of Noeun Village in Saengcho-myeon and Banghwa Village in Saengbiryang-myeon (4 billion KRW).

The Saetteul Village project, promoted by the Presidential Committee on Balanced National Development, is a project that refurbishes basic living infrastructure in vulnerable living environment areas and improves old and poor housing conditions.

Cheokji Village in Sancheong-eup and Gusa Village in Danseong-myeon, selected as project sites this year, have poor residential environments, with about 60-70% of the total houses being over 30 years old.

The county will invest 1.929 billion KRW in Cheokji Village and 1.845 billion KRW in Gusa Village over four years from 2021 to 2024 (70% national funds, 30% local funds, some self-payment) to carry out projects such as demolition of vacant houses, removal and improvement of slate roofs, stone wall construction, and installation of security facilities.

A county official said, “The reason we were able to be selected for the Saetteul Village contest project worth a total of 10.1 billion KRW over the past three years, including this year, is thanks to the active participation of residents in each village,” adding, “We will strive for smooth project implementation to improve living conditions and increase the satisfaction of the village community.”
