2024 Opening of 'Gimhae Saenghwal Sok Haengbok Sunhwan Center'... What Should We Call It?

September 11-17, Center Name Contest Announcement

The Gyeongnam Gimhae Life Happiness Circulation Center, which brings together various welfare facilities in one place, is set to open in the first half of 2024.

Gimhae City announced that it is accepting citizen suggestions for naming the Gimhae Life Happiness Circulation Center.

According to the city, the Gimhae Life Happiness Circulation Center, selected and promoted as part of the 2019 Social Overhead Capital (SOC) complex project, will be built on the site of a resource circulation facility with a waste incineration plant, with an investment of 26.3 billion KRW including national funds.

The center will be constructed on the site where the existing Jangyu Branch Office building was demolished, with one basement floor and four above-ground floors, covering a total area of 9,014㎡. It will include residential parking lots, the Jangyu Branch Office, a shared childcare center, a community care center, a youth shared space, a learning playground, a public library, and a living culture center.

In the outdoor space of the building, a plaza, which is lacking in Jangyu 1-dong, will be created and operated as a place for local residents' activities and exchanges.

The naming contest for the center will be open from the 11th to the 17th of this month. Participants can join via the participation link (internet direct address) or QR code (information pattern) provided on Gimhae City's official Instagram, KakaoStory, Facebook, and Twitter accounts.

The city plans to draw 20 participants by lottery and award them mobile Gimhae Love Gift Certificates.

Once completed, the center is expected to enhance the welfare of residents around the resource circulation facility in Gimhae City, improve the living environment, and serve as a focal point for forming a local community.

Mayor Hong Tae-yong said, “I hope that the Gimhae Life Happiness Circulation Center, which will become a new landmark of the region, will open with the interest and support of residents, and that they will help name it together.”
