[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province announced on the 31st that it has selected a construction company for the new Gaho-dong Administrative Welfare Center building project and began full-scale construction in March.

The current office, located in a residential area near Gaegyang Five-way Intersection in Gajwa-dong, was built in 1986 and is severely deteriorated. With a total area of 475.56㎡, it lacks sufficient office and resident convenience space, causing significant inconvenience to citizens.

Accordingly, a total project cost of 7 billion KRW will be invested to build a new administrative welfare center on the Shin Jinju Station area public office site. The new building will be three stories above ground with a total area of 1,327.11㎡, providing residents with high-quality administrative, cultural, and welfare services.

A community facility for Gaho-dong residents will be installed, transforming the space from an administration-focused center to one centered on residents, welfare, and culture. Programs for communication among residents will be organized, and resident networks will be strengthened to establish community care, playing a role as a dense social safety net.

Jinju Mayor Jo Gyu-il visited the construction site to inspect the progress and stated, “Once the new administrative welfare center is completed, it is expected to play a significant role in improving citizens’ quality of life and balanced regional development by securing ample cultural and welfare spaces along with high-quality administrative services.”
