Yongin City Invests 100 Million Won to Establish Social Economy Hub Center Meeting Rooms and More

[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province has been finally selected for the '2022 City and County Community Hub Support Project' hosted by Gyeonggi Province, securing 100 million KRW in project funds.

The City and County Community Hub Support Project is a program in which Gyeonggi Province provides up to 100 million KRW in facility construction costs to create spaces where village community activists can communicate.

Yongin City will use the secured provincial funds to install a shared meeting room and a multipurpose room for village communities on the 2nd floor of the Yongin Social Economy Hub Center located in Samga-dong, Cheoin-gu, by June next year.

The city expects that since the Yongin Social Economy Hub Center is adjacent to the administrative town, city hall, and Yongin University Station, it will be conveniently accessible not only to village communities but also to local residents.

A city official stated, "The space prepared in the center is expected to serve as a hub where village community activists can continuously engage in activities as well as a community room for local residents," adding, "We will continue to revitalize village communities through policies and projects that meet the residents' perspectives."

Meanwhile, since 2015, the city has been actively supporting residents to form voluntary communities and enabling community activists to sustain their activities by promoting resident proposal contest projects for village communities.
