[Haenam＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do is accelerating efforts to secure long-term growth engines by successfully attracting investments worth 570 billion KRW.

According to the county on the 1st, on the 29th of last month, an investment agreement was signed with The Good Co., Ltd. to develop a European-style complex resort facility including a residential complex of about 1,000 households within the Solar City industrial complex site.

In particular, following the attraction of the National Agricultural and Food Climate Change Response Center with an investment of 407.9 billion KRW last September, the county has achieved remarkable results by securing investments worth 570 billion KRW, nearly reaching 1 trillion KRW as a growth engine for regional development.

Haenam-gun focused on revitalizing the local economy through investment attraction and, after persistent negotiations lasting over a year, successfully reached this investment agreement.

The Good Co., Ltd., which has been operating the Swiss-themed village Edelweiss in Gapyeong since 2014, is developing European village theme parks nationwide, including the Denmark Village in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi-do.

The county formed a dedicated team to actively explain Haenam’s strengths, which possess the clean brand value of “Land’s End Haenam,” and has expressed strong support for attracting investments to the industrial city to revitalize tourism in the southwestern region.

County Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan stated, “It is very encouraging that investment attraction fitting the urban vision has been confirmed for Solar City industrial complex, which is emerging as a core axis of the government’s New Deal and Jeonnam Blue Economy. We expect significant effects on population inflow, local economy, and tourism revitalization through large-scale investment attraction, and we will devote all our efforts to quickly realizing the investments.”

The European village theme park will be developed on a 495,000㎡ (150,000 pyeong) scale around the Solar City industrial complex area in Guseong-ri, Sanim-myeon, Haenam-gun. Inspired by the Netherlands, a maritime and agricultural powerhouse, the project aims to create an eco-friendly European village and a renewable energy village called “Windmolen” (Dutch for windmill), highlighting the scenic views of small lakes such as Yeongamho and Geumhoho.
