Damyang-gun Selected as Final Winner in Samman District Rural Space Improvement Project Contest

Total Project Cost of 15 Billion Won Invested for Major Hazardous Facility Maintenance and Regeneration by 2027

On the 11th, Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it was finally selected in the third round of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs' Rural Space Maintenance Project new district contest.

This is a great achievement following the selection of the Bongan district in Mujeong-myeon last June.

The Rural Space Maintenance Project is a key initiative necessary for implementing rural spatial planning. It supports the demolition and relocation of harmful facilities within villages and the use of the maintained sites for creating rest areas and living facilities for village residents.

The selected area this time is the Samman district in Damyang-eup, Damyang-gun, which suffers from severe odor and environmental pollution caused by an organic fertilizer factory established in 2000.

Even after its closure in 2020, complaints have continued due to environmental pollution and damage to the village landscape, making maintenance urgent.

Damyang-gun plans to invest a total project cost of 15 billion KRW from this year until 2027 to maintain and regenerate major harmful facilities (such as poultry houses, compost facilities, management buildings, and cold storage) and to promote projects like a smart horticulture experience training center, public nursery, and park creation.

County Governor Lee Byung-no said, "With the selection in this contest project, we will maintain harmful facilities throughout the Samman district to create a pleasant rural space and contribute to improving the quality of life for our residents."
