Jeongeup-si Advances Phased Redevelopment Projects for Aging Industrial Complexes

Jeongeup City in Jeonbuk announced on the 4th that it will promote a phased maintenance project targeting aging industrial complexes in the region.

This project involves repairing aging infrastructure such as roads, sidewalks, and sewage systems in industrial complexes that are over 20 years old. The plan is to prevent worker safety accidents and create a pleasant walking environment through facility upgrades.

Currently, many roads in the local industrial complexes are damaged due to the enlargement of logistics transportation vehicles and aging. Additionally, sidewalk damage caused by tree roots and frequent manhole backflow incidents are common.

The city plans to conduct a feasibility study to investigate the aging level of the industrial complex infrastructure, determine the appropriateness and priority of the project implementation, and proceed with the project step by step.

This year, 3 billion KRW was secured to complete repairs on some roads, sidewalks, and sewage systems in the 2nd General Industrial Complex and the 3rd General Industrial Complex, which have the most severe aging.

Next year, a total project cost of 15 billion KRW will be invested to complete the maintenance by 2027.

A city official stated, “We will do our best to create a safe and pleasant environment through the maintenance of aging infrastructure to ensure the convenience of workers and smooth business activities. We will also strictly supervise to minimize traffic inconvenience during the project.”
