Gwangju Nam-gu, Senior Startup Center Groundbreaking... Opening by Year-End

Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, is set to begin construction aiming to open the Bangnim 2-dong Senior Startup Center by the end of the year.

Nam-gu announced on the 25th that the construction of the Bangnim 2-dong Senior Startup Center has started and will continue until October.

Since 2021, Nam-gu has been implementing the Urban Regeneration New Deal project in phases to revitalize Bangnim 2-dong, where depopulation has worsened due to aging housing and lack of infrastructure. The Senior Startup Center is being built to expand infrastructure related to job creation.

The Senior Startup Center is planned to be constructed by the end of this year as a two-story building on the site at Bangnim-dong 83-13, with a total project cost of approximately 1.5 billion KRW.

The center will serve as an outpost for job and income creation for residents of Bangnim 2-dong.

The first floor will be a space creating new jobs for the elderly in the village, expected to include workshops and startup restaurants.

Additionally, the second floor will feature a shared kitchen equipped with kitchen facilities as part of the sharing economy services, aiming to reduce costs and increase efficiency for users.

A Nam-gu official stated, "The Senior Startup Center will be utilized as a space for job and income creation for local residents. We will continuously discover customized senior job projects so that the elderly in Bangnim 2-dong can work and enjoy a prosperous life."
