[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Korea Rail Network Authority announced on the 24th that it will hold a private proposal contest for the development of the site of the unconstructed Ingugjeong Station on the Donghae Line in Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do.

The unconstructed Donghae Line site is an idle land purchased during the Japanese colonial period for the purpose of constructing the Donghae Line railway, but the railway has not been built to date. The area of the Ingugjeong Station site is 35,383㎡.

The Rail Network Authority is considering creating a complex cultural space by developing a marine sports-themed area such as surfing, considering that the Ingugjeong Station site is adjacent to Jukdo and Ingug Beach, and integrating youth startup spaces, residential areas, and infrastructure.

The contest period is from the 24th of this month to March 23rd of next year, and other detailed information about the contest can be found on the Rail Network Authority's website.

Kim Han-young, Director of the Rail Network Authority, said, “We hope that this contest will enhance the value of railway assets that have not been utilized so far and revitalize Yangyang-gun through development linked to nature and tourism resources,” and added, “We ask for much interest and participation in the contest.”
