[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Gyeongsangnam-do will continue to promote the facility improvement project for aging public rental housing this year.

The project is implemented to improve the facilities of public rental housing that has been completed for more than 15 years among the 50-year permanent rental public housing, creating a pleasant living environment and enhancing the quality of life for residents.

Since the project started in 2009, a total budget of 11.175 billion KRW has been supported over 13 years, and it has been carried out by dividing into 35 items across 6 categories.

Project items for vulnerable residents and living safety, as well as facility improvements that are urgent or have high efficiency and satisfaction relative to expenditure, are prioritized, granting autonomy to project recipients.

This time, 1,290 units in three complexes, including Gaenari 3rd Phase Public Rental Apartments in Changwon City and Docheon and Misu Apartments in Tongyeong City, were selected as project targets.

The province plans to invest a budget of 833 million KRW in the facility improvement project for aging public rental housing this year, with construction orders and groundbreaking scheduled for April. The project includes replacing shared piping in common areas, household distribution boards, and water taps, as well as exterior wall painting and rooftop waterproofing work.

Heo Dongsik, Director of the Urban Transportation Bureau, said, “We will continue to do our best to improve the living environment for vulnerable groups and ensure that residents of the province can enjoy a happy residential life.”
