According to the province on the 22nd, Deputy Governor Moon Geum-ju visited the construction site of the Eastern New Government Building in Suncheon Sindae District to check the progress and encourage the officials involved.

Multipurpose large auditoriums, book cafes, and forest resting areas will also be provided as communication and relaxation spaces conveniently accessible to local residents.

Following the organizational restructuring approved by the Jeonnam Provincial Council on the 16th, the current single bureau system will be expanded to a structure with three bureaus and one office.

The Eastern Integrated Government Building is being constructed with a total budget of 57 billion KRW, having started in October 2021. The completion report was submitted on July 3, 2023, with the goal of opening around July. The current progress rate is 96%, and the building is being constructed on a 30,240㎡ site with one basement floor and three above-ground floors, totaling 13,000㎡ in floor area.
