Gochang-gun Promotes 'Small-Scale Return-to-Farming and Rural Settlement Infrastructure Development Project'

[Gochang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] On the 12th, Gochang-gun, Jeonbuk announced that it will promote the ‘2023 Small-scale Return-to-Farming and Rural Settlement Infrastructure Development Project’ to help return-to-farming and rural settlement residents settle stably.

The small-scale return-to-farming and rural settlement infrastructure development project, which is a Gochang-gun’s own policy project, supports about 50 million KRW (for 3 to 5 households) to 100 million KRW (for 6 or more households) for village infrastructure (access roads, water supply and sewage, drainage, retaining walls, etc.) installation costs when three or more return-to-farming and rural settlement households wish to create a community residence.

Since 2014 until last year, the county has created 15 small-scale community residences for 80 return-to-farming and rural settlement households, and Daon Village in Hakjeon, Asan-myeon, where 4 households are scheduled to settle, is currently undergoing infrastructure construction.

Those who wish to apply for this project can form a community of three or more households who have moved into Gochang-gun within 5 years or are prospective return-to-farming and rural settlement residents, and apply for the support project to the return-to-farming and rural settlement team by attaching a building commencement report.

A county official said, “We expect that the inflow and settlement support of return-to-farming and rural settlement population will overcome the crisis of regional extinction caused by population decline and aging and breathe new vitality into the region,” adding, “We will continue to create a city where people want to live by creating a pleasant living environment.”
