Gwangju Buk-gu Selected for 'Living SOC Complex Project' Competition
Secured 6.1 Billion KRW in National and City Funding
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Moon In) announced on the 4th that it has secured 6.1 billion KRW in national and city funds after being selected for the ‘2022 Living SOC Complex Project’ contest hosted by the Office for Government Policy Coordination.
The ‘Living SOC Complex Project’ is a project that gathers various facilities such as gyms, libraries, and parking lots into one space to create a living-oriented facility with complex functions.
The selected ‘Unam-dong Living SOC Complex Project’ will be constructed on the site of the former Gyeongyang Elementary School with a total project cost of 11.45 billion KRW, consisting of one basement floor to three above-ground floors (total floor area of 4,000㎡).
By 2024, a national sports center, living culture center, community care center, and residential parking lot are expected to be established.
A Buk-gu official stated, “This project was planned by reflecting the results of demand surveys for living SOC by district and residents’ opinions,” and added, “It is expected that more residents will benefit when a large population influx occurs due to the Unam 3 Complex reconstruction and the private park development special project in the future.”
Meanwhile, Buk-gu has secured 22.7 billion KRW in national funds, ranking third among local governments nationwide, through the selection of a total of five Living SOC projects including the Bandabi Complex Sports Center and Sinyong Complex Public Library, and these facilities are scheduled to be completed in the first half of next year.
Mayor Moon In of Buk-gu said, “With the selection of this Living SOC Complex Project, it is expected that public sports, culture, and care conveniences in the Unam area will improve,” and added, “We will continue to make greater efforts to expand Living SOC so that all residents can enjoy a quality life anytime and anywhere.”
