The Long-Awaited 'Integrated Veterans Hall' for Veterans Families... Final On-Site Inspection by Lee Kang-deok, Mayor of Pohang

Visit to Construction Site, Progress Check and Safety Reminder

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Dong-guk] On the 13th, Lee Kang-deok, Mayor of Pohang City, visited the construction site of the Pohang City Integrated Veterans Hall, where the final construction work is underway, to check the progress of the construction and encourage the site manager and other construction personnel.

On the 13th, Mayor Lee Gang-deok of Pohang visited the construction site of the Pohang City Integrated Veterans Hall to inspect the progress of the construction.

Mayor Lee inspected the enhanced safety measures following the enforcement of the Serious Accident Punishment Act and personally checked the site to ensure the smooth completion of the construction, urging everyone to maintain thoroughness until the very end so that the project can proceed as planned.

While touring the site, Mayor Lee said, “Please prioritize safety over speed and make efforts to ensure that veterans' organizations do not experience any inconvenience when using the facilities.” He added, “Once the Integrated Veterans Hall, which has been a long-cherished wish of veterans' families, opens, it is expected to not only honor national merit recipients and their families but also elevate Pohang’s status as a city of patriotic defense.”

Although Pohang City had a Veterans Hall built in 1989, the building had become old and cramped, making it impossible for all 10 veterans' organizations to be housed together. Therefore, the need for constructing an Integrated Veterans Hall has been continuously raised. In response, efforts were focused on site selection and budget securing, and a total budget of 8 billion KRW, including national funds, was invested, with the groundbreaking ceremony held in April last year.

The new Veterans Hall will have a total floor area of 2,330㎡ and consist of four above-ground floors, including a parking lot, offices for 10 veterans' organizations, a fitness room, and meeting rooms. The opening ceremony is scheduled for March, coinciding with the move-in of the veterans' organizations.
