[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 11th that it will promote the restoration project of the old Buksang-myeon office building (located in Galkye-ri, Buksang-myeon).

The old Buksang-myeon office building, reborn as a modern administrative archive, was built in 1955 and used as the Buksang-myeon office until 1990.

Currently, it is partially remodeled and used as a health promotion room for residents, but since the health promotion room is included in the Buksang-myeon community center construction project, the future utilization plan was unclear. However, by proposing it as a local pending project to the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, they secured 200 million KRW in national funds, gaining an opportunity for revival.

The modern administrative archive, currently being promoted as a separate building, is unique to Geochang-gun nationwide, and it is expected to be used as a learning center for modern administration for public officials and students, and to be reborn as a new tourist attraction in Buksang-myeon to attract tourists.

The county is collecting administrative materials essential for the establishment of the administrative archive in the form of donations. The collection items include various audiovisual materials and documents covering the entire modern and contemporary administrative history, as well as administrative equipment such as typewriters, cameras, and projectors.

The collection period is until December of this year, with intensive collection of administrative materials from April to September, and plans to organize the list and select items to be exhibited along with the names of donors.

The county plans to open the administrative archive in the first half of next year after conducting a detailed safety inspection, consulting experts, and proceeding with design and restoration construction.
