[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] The Sambang Market area in Gimhae-si, Gyeongnam, has been reborn with beautiful signboards.

The city announced on the 8th that it was selected for the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's signboard improvement contest project and spent a total of 450 million won to improve the signboards of 54 businesses in the Sambang-dong traditional market area, a city regeneration project site.

Before the project, residents' opinions were collected through five rounds of resident briefings, and design planning services were promoted considering the characteristics of the region and each business. In addition, indiscriminate outdoor advertisements within the project section were removed, and distinctive signboards were installed for each business.

Moon Yong-ju, head of the Urban Design Division of Gimhae City, said, "Through this project, we hope it will help improve the landscape and revitalize the local economy, which has been stagnant due to COVID-19."
