[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 20th, Jinju City in Gyeongnam Province and Gyeongsang National University held a completion ceremony for the ‘100th Anniversary Hall Plaza Fountain Installation Project,’ promoted as part of the ‘Jinju City and Gyeongsang National University Win-Win Development Cooperation Project,’ in front of the 100th Anniversary Hall on the Chilam Campus.

The plaza fountain installation project completed that day was carried out in the plaza area in front of the frequently used 100th Anniversary Hall (Chilam-dong 150-1), including the installation of a plaza fountain, relocation of the intercity bus temporary stop, and creation of a citizen rest area.

Jinju City received the site free of charge from Gyeongsang National University, invested a total project cost of 1.2 billion KRW, completed the detailed design and basic design services from October last year to March this year, and began full-scale construction in July, completing it on this day.

The city realized citizen happiness by providing a pleasant environment and attractions through the installation of the plaza fountain and rest area, and improved convenience for users by demolishing the old intercity bus temporary stop and newly refurbishing it.

In particular, this project is the first nationwide project completed among various win-win development cooperation projects promoted through agreements between local governments and universities.

Mayor Cho Gyu-il said, “The installation of the ground fountain will improve the living environment of Cheonjeon-dong residents and provide a good resting space not only for Jinju citizens but also for many visitors to Jinju,” adding, “We will continue to expand good spaces around living areas and strive to build green infrastructure and create a pleasant environment.”

President Kwon Soon-ki of Gyeongsang National University said, “I am pleased that a good space has been prepared for students and citizens,” and added, “Gyeongsang National University will provide its physical resources to continuously promote win-win development cooperation projects so that citizens can enjoy a pleasant environment.”
