Wanju-gun, Gosan-myeon Urban Regeneration Project 'Starts'

Investing 198 million KRW to Promote 3 Projects

[Wanju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Wanju-gun announced on the 23rd that it will officially launch the preliminary urban regeneration project in Gosan-myeon.

The preliminary urban regeneration project corresponds to the preparation stage of the Urban Regeneration New Deal project, and Gosan-myeon was finally selected in December last year in the '2021 Urban Regeneration Preliminary Project Contest' hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

Accordingly, Wanju-gun plans to invest 198 million KRW including national funds to promote three projects: △ Creating a premium walking street through the improvement of the Dtorang alleyway landscape △ Gosan history and culture awareness and sharing project △ Millennium history Gosan Market leap forward project.

Among them, creating a premium walking street through the improvement of the Dtorang alleyway landscape focuses on improving the deteriorated alleys near the traditional market. Specifically, wall tile murals, point lighting installation, and stream water quality improvement will be implemented.

In addition, the Gosan history and culture awareness and sharing project will create maps containing the history of the Gosan area and traditional restaurant maps, producing them as murals for village promotion, and operate a traditional cultural etiquette school using Gosan Hyanggyo and Gosan Cathedral.

The Millennium history Gosan Market leap forward project involves holding cultural events linked to the Dtorang alleyway, including operating a night market connecting Gosan Market and nearby villages.

Wanju-gun plans to operate resident capacity-building programs to nurture community leaders so that these projects can be carried out under resident leadership.
