[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City in Gyeongnam Province and Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) announced on the 9th that they held a groundbreaking ceremony for the 'Multipurpose Plaza Construction Project on the Upper Part of the Retention Basin' in Chungmugong-dong Innovation City on the 8th.

About 50 people attended the ceremony, including Shin Jong-woo, Deputy Mayor of Jinju City; Shin Kyung-chul, Head of LH Smart City Headquarters; Lee Sang-young, Chairman of Jinju City Council; and Yoon Hyun-jung, Representative of the Jinju Citizens' Movement to Protect Innovation City.

The multipurpose plaza project on the upper part of the retention basin in Chungmugong-dong, for which Jinju City provided the necessary land, is planned to be completed by the first half of 2023 with LH investing 3 billion KRW in facility installation costs.

The northern retention basin of the LH10 complex apartment, the project site, has been maintained as a facility for rainwater disaster prevention, but its utilization has been low except during heavy rains, raising the need to convert it for other uses.

Jinju City plans to create an open plaza, a lawn plaza, and a design plaza here in collaboration with LH, after collecting various opinions from residents through surveys and briefing sessions.

Deputy Mayor Shin Jong-woo said, "We appreciate LH's promotion of the multipurpose plaza construction project to improve the residential environment of Innovation City," and added, "We will continue to strive for the mutual development of Innovation City and the original downtown area and the improvement of the residential environment in Innovation City through regional development projects linked with relocated public institutions."
