Gunwi-gun, Integrated New Airport Relocation Area Residents Briefing... "Priority is to Promote Incorporation into Daegu"

At the Daegu City-Hosted Briefing, Residents Raise Voices Saying "Suspend Relocation Projects Until Daegu Incorporation"

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] The resident briefing session for the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Integrated New Airport relocation area support project was held on the 30th of last month at the Samguk Yusa Education and Culture Center Grand Theater in Gunwi-gun, with about 100 local residents in attendance.

Hosted by Daegu City, this briefing session proceeded in the order of the integrated new airport promotion status, Daegu military airport relocation area support plan and expected effects, and a Q&A session.

The support project is a business aimed at improving the convenience and welfare of residents in the surrounding relocation areas under the "Special Act on Military Airport Relocation and Support," with a scale of at least 300 billion KRW, with at least 150 billion KRW each for Gunwi and Uiseong.

The support project is based on generating profits through the project and establishing a regional redistribution structure, focusing on living infrastructure facilities and income-increasing projects.

Based on the support plan approved in 2019, residents' opinions are reflected in four areas: living infrastructure facilities, welfare facility expansion, income-increasing projects, and regional development projects, which are then concretized and examined for feasibility.

During the Q&A session that day, many questions were raised regarding Gunwi-gun's incorporation into Daegu. One attending resident said, "It has been nine months since the joint agreement was signed, but there has been no progress on the incorporation into Daegu," and demanded, "The incorporation into Daegu should be prioritized, and the relocation project should be halted until the incorporation is completed."

Park Seong-geun, acting mayor of Gunwi-gun, emphasized, "We will avoid simple one-time projects and work together with Daegu City to establish projects that are practically helpful to residents and sustainable income-increasing projects."

Starting with this briefing session, resident briefings for the heads of villages representing each town and township are scheduled to be held in May.
