Gijang-gun Launches Full-Scale 'Ilgwang Urban Regeneration New Deal Recognition Project'

Busan Gijang-gun is actively promoting the ‘Ilgwang-eup Urban Regeneration Hub Facility Construction and Administrative Welfare Center Project (Ilgwang Urban Regeneration New Deal Certified Project).’

The ‘Ilgwang Urban Regeneration New Deal Certified Project’ is a project to newly create a complex space for culture, welfare, and community for local residents by renovating the aging Ilgwang-eup Administrative Welfare Center. It was selected as the final winner in the Urban Regeneration New Deal project competition hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in 2020 and is currently underway.

The county plans to invest a total project cost of 20.7 billion KRW (5 billion KRW national funds, 2.5 billion KRW city funds, 13.2 billion KRW county funds) by 2024 to build a new office building and urban regeneration hub facility on the site of the Ilgwang-eup Administrative Welfare Center.

The building will have a total floor area of 4,772㎡, consisting of one basement floor and four above-ground floors, including ▲1st floor: Ilgwang-eup Administrative Welfare Center, caf?, and gallery ▲2nd floor: Family Center ▲3rd floor: Cultural and educational program rooms for strengthening residents’ capabilities ▲4th floor: Sports facilities for promoting residents’ health.

After completing the detailed design in December last year, a construction company and construction management team were selected, and the project officially commenced on June 20. Currently, administrative procedures for dismantling and demolishing the existing building are underway, followed by the start of construction work, with completion scheduled for the end of 2024.

County Governor Jeong Jong-bok stated, “With the promotion of this project, it is expected that residents will be able to use administrative services more conveniently, and it will greatly contribute to closing the gaps in information, education, and culture within the local community.”
