Gwangju Nam-gu, Bongseon Market Parking Tower to be Completed by the End of This Month

Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, has invested 4.7 billion KRW to build the 'Bongseon Market Parking Tower,' which will be completed by the end of this month, undergo pilot operation until the end of August, and then begin full operation in September.

According to Nam-gu on the 15th, the construction of the Bongseon Market Parking Tower is a long-awaited project for merchants who make a living in the traditional market and residents living near the market.

To resolve the long-standing demands of merchants and nearby residents, Nam-gu secured national funding by applying for the 'Traditional Market Parking Environment Improvement Project' organized by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups in 2020.

The construction of the Bongseon Market Parking Tower involved a total project cost of approximately 4.7 billion KRW, including national, city, and district funds. Nam-gu also persuaded the government to increase the number of parking spaces during the construction process, securing an additional 1 billion KRW in national funding.

Nam-gu plans to complete the tower by the end of this month and begin pilot operation until August.

The parking tower, designed as a four-level structure over three above-ground floors, can accommodate 106 vehicles, nearly tripling the existing 44 parking spaces.

A Nam-gu official said, "Merchants have been worried and anxious due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, and we hope the Bongseon Market Parking Tower will greatly help overcome these hardships."
