Changwon Mayor Heo Seong-mu Holds On-site Communication Meeting with Wanwoldong Residents' Autonomous Association

Visiting Sites of Challenging Neighborhood Garden Support Projects and More

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] On the 1st, Heo Seong-mu, mayor of Changwon City, visited the site of the Love Garden creation project, a major project of the Wanwoldong Residents' Autonomy Committee in Masanhappo-gu, to communicate with the residents.

The on-site communication meeting was held on the day of the Wanwoldong Residents' Autonomy Committee monthly meeting, at the invitation of the Residents' Autonomy Committee.

The Wanwoldong Residents' Autonomy Committee received a 200㎡ plot of land free of charge through residents' cooperation, removed weeds, and sowed seeds to create a garden.

At the end of the year, they plan to make kimchi with the vegetables harvested here and support 100 households of vulnerable neighbors, including elderly living alone.

Mayor Heo, who visited the garden site that day, encouraged the Wanwoldong Residents' Autonomy Committee, which is actively carrying out voluntary village community projects.

He also communicated about major city administration projects of local residents' interest, such as the progress of the road construction project between Wanwol Elementary School and Masan Church scheduled for completion in June, the establishment of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Changwon branch, the creation of a waterfront space in Masan Port, and the development of the Masan Marine New Town.

Yoon Malsun, chairperson of the Residents' Autonomy Committee, suggested through the meeting the creation and support of an open community space utilizing vacant houses in Wanwoldong, where there is a lack of resident cultural spaces, the prompt establishment of the Wanwoldong Administrative Welfare Center, and the creation of a parking lot on the idle land of the government office building.

Mayor Heo said, "I appreciate the exemplary activities of the Residents' Autonomy Committee and hope that you will take an interest and actively work as leaders of the community so that the village can transform into a better place to live," adding, "I ask for your support to unite efforts for the establishment of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Changwon branch so that the seeds of culture and arts can be planted in Masan."
