Hwasun-gun Final Approval of 'Urban Regeneration Strategic Plan'

[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Jeollanam-do Hwasun-gun (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 10th that Jeollanam-do finally approved the 'Urban Regeneration Strategic Plan' submitted by the county on the 9th.

The county began establishing the urban regeneration strategic plan after being selected for a national subsidy project worth 18 billion KRW in 2018.

After conducting a feasibility study for the plan, holding public hearings with residents, gathering opinions from the county council, and consulting with Jeollanam-do, the county applied for plan approval last year and has now received final approval.

With the approval of the urban regeneration strategic plan, a green light has been given to the revitalization of the other four areas, excluding the Hwangcheong district in Hwasun-eup, which is currently progressing smoothly among the five areas where regeneration projects are underway.

Two locations in Hwasun-eup, and one each in Neungju-myeon and Dongbok-myeon, totaling four locations, have established an administrative foundation for national subsidy project applications, which is expected to positively influence future project selections.

The Urban Regeneration New Deal project is aimed at developing the county into a sustainable city through revitalizing old downtown areas, creating jobs, and increasing population inflow.

The Hwangcheong district Urban Regeneration New Deal project consists of a total of 10 unit projects, and since last year, construction of the Youth Vitality Center and remodeling of the Harmony Center have begun, with completion expected this month.

Starting next month, construction will begin on the Win-Win Cooperation Shopping Center, convenience facilities, parking lots, and the Healing Creative Playground.

A county official stated, “We were able to obtain approval for the urban regeneration strategic plan through cooperation with related organizations and active cooperation from residents,” adding, “We will successfully complete the urban regeneration project to enhance residents’ convenience and revitalize the local economy.”
