Changwon Special City Agricultural Technology Center Integrated Office New Building Construction Fully Underway

Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam announced that it plans to begin construction of the 'Changwon Special City Agricultural Technology Center New Building' starting this September to establish a rural guidance foundation and revitalize the local agricultural economy.

The existing Agricultural Technology Center has been in operation for over 40 years since its establishment, limiting its ability to introduce new farming technologies and provide services for farmers. Additionally, since the 2010 integration of Changwon City, office facilities have been dispersed across three regions, continuously increasing inconvenience for farmers.

The new building plans to include a soil testing laboratory and pest and disease diagnosis room utilizing scientific and ICT technologies in preparation for the 4th Industrial Revolution in agriculture, video conference rooms and classrooms for educational functions, urban farming experience gardens for city residents, and a local agricultural product processing practice center to revitalize the regional economy.

The city is investing a total project cost of 35 billion KRW to build a four-story building with a total floor area of 10,985 square meters, aiming for its official opening in December 2025 and is proceeding as planned.

Mayor Hong Nampyo stated, “We will establish a new Agricultural Technology Center that can swiftly respond to the changing times, including the development of new income crops in response to climate change and the introduction of advanced IT technologies in the agricultural sector.”
