Jangseong-gun Holds Kick-off Meeting for 'Daechang District Urban Regeneration Preliminary Project'

[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Jo Hangyu] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Yoo Doo-seok) announced on the 9th that it held the 'Daechang District Urban Regeneration Preliminary Project Kick-off Meeting' on the 8th at the 2nd-floor conference room of the Jangseong-eup Administrative Welfare Center, targeting about 30 local residents.

The small-scale urban regeneration preliminary project corresponds to the preparation stage of the 'Urban Regeneration New Deal Project,' which is a government policy that selectively develops only the deteriorated areas while maintaining the existing urban landscape, unlike conventional redevelopment and reconstruction.

Its purpose is to revitalize the city and enhance competitiveness without losing the unique value of the region.

To smoothly promote the Urban Regeneration New Deal Project, active participation from residents who are well aware of local conditions is necessary, and the small-scale urban regeneration preliminary project supports this.

Earlier, the county officially embarked on the project after Daechang District in Jangseong-eup was selected in the '2021 Urban Regeneration Preliminary Project' contest hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in December last year.

Securing a project budget of 280 million KRW including national funds, the county plans to promote the project by linking 'software projects' and 'hardware projects.'

Through software projects such as landscape design education and consulting, resident community programs, and operation of the Urban Regeneration University, the county aims to strengthen residents' capabilities and concretize the project plan to apply it during the implementation of urban design (hardware project).

The Daechang Residents' Council for the promotion of the small-scale urban regeneration project in Daechang District has also been formed and is currently operating.

Additionally, the 'Village Management Cooperative,' which is generally established at the final stage of the project, has been formed early, which is expected to reduce trial and error and increase efficiency during project implementation.

Governor Yoo Doo-seok said, "I hope the region will be reborn with a hopeful appearance through the active participation of Daechang-dong residents in the project," and added, "We will create conditions to enable more residents to participate in the project."
