Building a Better Geochang-gun to Live in with Expanded Living Infrastructure Including Rental Housing!

Groundbreaking Ceremony for the Construction Project of LH Public Rental Housing in Sinwon-myeon.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 14th, Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam Province held a groundbreaking ceremony for the LH public rental housing construction project, a project to revitalize the Sinwon-myeon area.

The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by about 40 people, including County Governor Gu In-mo, County Council Chairman Kim Jong-du, Gyeongnam Provincial Assembly members Kang Cheol-woo and Kim Il-su, Hong Jun-pyo, Head of LH Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters, and Kang Shin-young, Superintendent of Geochang Office of Education.

In February, Geochang-gun signed an agreement with the LH Korea Land and Housing Corporation Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters to build 12 public rental houses each in Sinwon-myeon and Gabuk-myeon. Sinwon-myeon started construction in August, but the groundbreaking ceremony was postponed considering the spread of COVID-19.

This rental housing construction project was promoted as part of the "School Closure Crisis Escape Project" to actively respond to population decline and local extinction issues, starting the year after Gu In-mo took office as the 7th elected county governor in 2019.

Through the agreement with LH, Geochang-gun will provide insufficient housing to households transferring in and out to elementary schools in Sinwon-myeon and Gabuk-myeon.

Currently, construction is underway in Sinwon-myeon, and occupancy will be possible early next year. In the case of Gabuk-myeon, the construction site selection was completed last September, and construction is planned to begin soon.

County Governor Gu In-mo emphasized, "With the expansion of living infrastructure such as the construction of LH rental housing, a favorable living environment will be created, leading to an increase in the population not only in Sinwon-myeon but throughout the county."
