Jangheung-gun Confirms Construction of New Office Building on Current Site

Public Hearing, Survey, and Verification Debate Lead to Decision on Current Site Construction

County Governor Kim Seong: "Establishing a Future-Oriented Office Building Realizing Open Administration"

Jangheung-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Seong) held a new government building construction promotion committee meeting on the 18th and confirmed the location of the new building as the current government office site.

According to the county on the 19th, the Jangheung-gun government office, completed in 1977, received a D grade in a safety inspection, and due to reasons such as limited office space, insufficient parking, and inconvenience for residents, the need for a new government building has been raised.

Jangheung-gun established the ordinance for the establishment and operation of a government building construction fund in 2016, and last year enacted the ordinance for the formation and operation of the Jangheung-gun Government Building Construction Promotion Committee.

The promotion committee, composed of a total of 30 members including council members, journalists, experts, and resident representatives, began selecting the site for the new government building in earnest from February.

The committee selected seven candidate sites, conducted verification discussions, narrowed them down to three candidates, and held public hearings and surveys in three regions to gather residents' opinions.

The promotion committee comprehensively reviewed the residents' opinions presented at the public hearings and concluded that the current site is the most suitable, finalizing the construction location.

Jangheung-gun plans to finalize the basic plan for the new government building this year and proceed with administrative procedures, aiming to provide residents with high-quality administrative services and various convenience spaces through the new building by the end of 2026.

Governor Kim Seong stated, “We will do our best to build a future-oriented new government building that can communicate with residents and realize open administration.”
