[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Changwon City in Gyeongnam announced on the 17th that the 'Sapa-dong Complex Public Parking Tower Project' aimed at alleviating parking difficulties around Changwon District Court and the Prosecutor's Office is progressing smoothly with a target completion next year.

Although a temporary off-street parking lot has been established in the area, it is a place with chronic parking difficulties due to the concentration of Changwon District Court, Changwon District Prosecutor's Office, and single-family residential areas.

Since 2019, the city has been promoting a project with a total budget of 7.9 billion KRW to build on a site area of 3,969.8㎡, a total area of 6,750㎡, a 2-story above-ground 3-level parking lot with 243 spaces, and an 825㎡ Health and Lifestyle Support Center.

The complex public parking tower is currently undergoing detailed design.

The city plans to reflect in the design the location of entrances and exits and sufficient distance from nearby buildings to minimize inconvenience to residents adjacent to the parking lot site.

Once the detailed design is completed, construction is planned to begin in November.

Kim Sang-woon, Director of the Safety, Construction, and Transportation Bureau, stated, "The Sapa-dong Complex Public Parking Tower will resolve the parking difficulties around the court and prosecutor's office," adding, "We will actively strive to create a convenient, premium parking lot that is easy for anyone to find and visit."
