[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yeo Jong-gu] Goryeong-gun, Gyeongbuk Province, has been selected for the '2023 Signboard Improvement Contest Project' hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, securing 250 million KRW in national funding.

The selected signboard improvement project, titled 'Ureuk-ro Central Downtown Signboard Improvement Project,' aims to replace old and deteriorated signboards that spoil the urban landscape with new signboards reflecting the local characteristics and the individuality of businesses.

The project cost is shared equally between national and local governments, with a total budget of 500 million KRW, including 250 million KRW in national funds. With this budget, 112 signboards from 105 businesses along an 800-meter section of Ureuk-ro in Daegaya-eup will be renovated.

To ensure successful project implementation, a resident council has been formed and operated from the planning stage, promoting voluntary resident participation. The project is being carried out as a resident-participatory initiative covering signboard design, production, construction, and post-management.

Lee Nam-cheol, the mayor of Goryeong-gun, stated, "Through the signboard improvement project, we will create beautiful and pleasant streets, contributing to local job creation and economic revitalization."
