Changwon Special City Appoints New Members to the Democracy Hall Construction Promotion Committee

On the 17th, Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam appointed new members to the Democracy Hall Construction Promotion Committee and held its first meeting of the year.

At the City’s 3rd conference room, First Deputy Mayor Ha Jongmok attended and presented appointment letters to a total of eight new members, including Joo Mihwan, chairman of the 3·15 Uprising Memorial Project Association, who was appointed as the standing representative.

Originally, the City had launched and operated a committee composed of 15 members from democratization organizations and academia in 2019, in accordance with the “Ordinance on the Establishment and Operation of Changwon City Democracy Hall.”

Since last year, as the construction and exhibition processes of the Democracy Hall have been actively progressing, the City completed the ordinance revision procedure in December 2022 to strengthen expertise in the relevant fields and has been recruiting experts.

The newly appointed members are private experts active in three fields: architecture, exhibition, and operation. They will provide advice in each area to help ensure the successful promotion of the project.

Deputy Mayor Ha said, “I hope that the Democracy Hall will become a warm space offering history, culture, and rest to future generations and citizens,” and added, “I ask all committee members to pool their great capabilities.”

Since starting construction in April last year at the historical symbolic space within 3·15 Haeyang Nuri Park in Masanhappo-gu, Changwon City is accelerating the Democracy Hall construction project, aiming for completion in July 2024 and opening in September 2024.
