Imsil-gun Completes 'Residence and Practice Farms' for Returnees to Farming and Rural Areas... Scheduled for Occupancy Next Year

[Imsil=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk, has opened a residential space and a practical farm where families can stay together for return-to-farm and return-to-village migrants.

The county announced on the 14th that it held a completion ceremony for a stay-type family practical farm temporary residence facility in Cheongung-myeon.

The completion ceremony was held with the attendance of County Governor Sim Min, County Council Chairman Jin Namgeun, officials from the Imsil-gun Return-to-Farm and Return-to-Village Association, and local residents.

The newly completed stay-type family practical farm temporary residence facility was promoted with a budget of about 1.9 billion won secured through a Jeonbuk provincial public contest project last year.

Near Gugori in Cheongung-myeon, a multi-family housing complex of 10 units, a warehouse, and a 1,000㎡ agricultural practice farm were established.

The stay-type family practical farm temporary residence facility provides housing and practical farms where urban residents can temporarily reside before returning to farming and rural living.

It is a space that allows them to experience agriculture and rural life and fosters return-to-farm and return-to-village migrants through suitable housing in their desired settlement area, farmland purchase, preferred crop cultivation, and technical education.

The Imsil-gun stay-type family practical farm temporary residence facility has a total of 22 residential units: 10 households in Cheongung Gugori and 12 households in Imsil Jeongwol-ri.

The residential units are 55.08㎡ per household, and eligibility for residence requires prospective return-to-farm or return-to-village migrants with at least two family members.

Facility use is based on residence within one year, and a move-in announcement will be made in January next year through the Imsil-gun website and other channels.

Once residents are recruited, they will be selected through screening and are expected to move in early March next year.

The county expects that the stay-type family practical farm temporary residence facility will provide opportunities and experiences to understand the local agriculture and rural conditions and greatly contribute to improving the settlement rate of prospective return-to-farm and return-to-village migrants in Imsil-gun.

Governor Sim Min said, "I am pleased to provide a space where return-to-farm and return-to-village migrants visiting the county can settle stably," adding, "We will do our best to play an administrative helper role so that returnees coexist and harmonize with local residents and help revitalize rural areas."
