Jeon Seung-il, Gwangju Seo-gu Council Member, Criticizes Yangdong Slow Food for Waste of Public Funds

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Jeon Seung-il, a member of the Gwangju Metropolitan City Seo-gu Council, criticized, "Approximately 40 million KRW of public funds were wasted due to faulty design drawings that were not even verified on-site during the construction of the Yangdong Slow Food Complex Center."

Councilor Jeon pointed out this issue during the administrative audit under the Social and Urban Committee at the 308th 2nd Regular Meeting, as announced on the 19th.

He continued, "Due to setbacks in land acquisition, inconsistent administration is being repeated, such as using land originally purchased for another urban regeneration project for this project before changing the project plan."

He stated, "Upon visiting the site, I found that after three and a half years, construction began with the entrance designed differently from the plans, located where the septic tank is. The distance to the existing building (Yangdong Community Center) is less than 10 cm, leaving no workspace. Although the area has decreased by 22.23㎡ (about 7 pyeong) compared to the original plan, the budget has increased by 43 million KRW, totaling 1.209 billion KRW," he pointed out.

Meanwhile, the Yangdong Slow Food Complex Center is an urban regeneration (New Deal) project reflecting the region's characteristics, aiming to develop the brand and recipes of Yangdong Slow Food, with construction about to begin.
