[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang County, visited the Busan Regional Land Management Office and met with Director Gu Heon-sang to actively propose that the county's major pending projects related to the Hwanggang National River project be prioritized for implementation.

The mayor requested that the sports facility site within the land for the 2nd Changpowon project be prioritized for completion by the end of 2022, and also proposed the installation of irrigation facilities during the construction of the sports facility site.

In addition, he proposed that the Hwanggang waterfront leisure and cultural space creation project (with a total construction cost of about 8.7 billion KRW) in the section from Handeul Bridge at the upper reaches of Hwanggang to Wooampo in front of Kim Yong Village be prioritized in the national river basic plan and promoted promptly.

The 2nd Changpowon project, with a national budget investment of 56.8 billion KRW, is a large-scale construction project to create a 467,170㎡ high-water area by dredging the riverbed and reinforcing the riverbank by 2024, and has been under construction by the Busan Regional Land Management Office since August last year.

Additionally, the county plans to establish sports facilities including a 36-hole park golf course, four soccer fields, and two futsal courts within the 2nd Changpowon section.

Furthermore, the Hwanggang waterfront leisure and cultural space creation project, which involves a national budget of 8.7 billion KRW, aims to create an eco-friendly waterfront space from Handeul Bridge to Wooampo, including riverside leisure sports, park creation, flower carpet installation, and popup event plazas, with the basic planning currently underway.

Director Gu Heon-sang of the Busan Regional Land Management Office stated, “We will adjust the implementation schedule of the project within the 2nd Changpowon section to actively reflect Geochang County’s requests,” and added, “The Hwanggang waterfront ecological and cultural space project will also enter full-scale implementation starting next year.”

Mayor Gu said, “The early completion of sports facilities within the 2nd Changpowon section will be an opportunity to complete our county’s sports infrastructure,” and added, “We will work hard to ensure that local athletes can engage in sports activities in a more comfortable and pleasant environment.”
