Jeongeup-si Selected for 'Vibrant and Beautiful Street Creation Project'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jae-gil] Jeongeup City in Jeonbuk announced on the 8th that the 3rd General Industrial Complex was finally selected for the ‘2021 Vibrant and Beautiful Street Creation Project’ led by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and promoted by the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation, securing 1 billion KRW in national funding.

Accordingly, the city will invest a total project cost of 2.4 billion KRW, including 1 billion KRW in national funds, to carry out a large-scale street environment improvement project by next year, improving the landscape of the 3rd Industrial Complex and ensuring pedestrian safety.

First, for landscape improvement, the main theme of the project will be set as ‘Jeonghyang (井香) Street where flowers bloom all year round’ along the central street of the industrial complex. A specialized street will be created featuring flowers representing Jeongeup’s four seasons (spring - cherry blossoms, summer - lavender, autumn - gujeolcho, winter - snow flowers) and the future vision of the industrial complex.

Additionally, to ensure pedestrian safety, smart streetlights, LED crosswalks, and walkways will be installed to prevent traffic accidents for users, creating an industrial complex where commuting and walking are safe.

Along with this, a vibrant cultural street will be created where workers and residents can enjoy and relax through street festivals and cultural programs utilizing car-free streets.

Upon completion of the project, the area around the 3rd Industrial Complex is expected to be reborn as a vibrant and beautiful street, while enhancing convenience and safety for commuting workers, contributing to increased industrial productivity and strengthened coexistence in the local community.

Mayor Yoo Jin-seop said, “The project was finally selected through close cooperation and efforts between the city and resident companies,” adding, “Based on the foundation of being selected as a business-friendly city for five consecutive years, we will continue to do our best to create a business-friendly city by strengthening the competitiveness of industrial complexes and improving residential conditions.”
