The Namhae-gun Senior Citizens' Center is a long-cherished project of the Korea Senior Citizens Association Namhae-gun Branch, with a total project cost of 1.575 billion KRW.

Constructed as a two-story reinforced concrete building with a total floor area of 396.49㎡, the first floor houses a community room, offices, and a lounge, while the second floor contains an education room.

Notably, the access road section connecting the Senior Welfare Center to the Senior Citizens' Center was constructed in an elderly-friendly manner to facilitate easy movement for senior citizens.

The completion ceremony held on the 14th was attended by approximately 300 people, including Jang Chung-nam, the county governor, Im Tae-sik, chairman of the county council, Ryu Kyung-wan, provincial assembly member, executives of the Korea Senior Citizens Association branch, the head of the senior university, and senior club presidents.

In his welcoming speech, Lee Jae-shin, president of the Korea Senior Citizens Association Namhae-gun Branch, said, “We are pleased that the construction of the Senior Citizens' Center, a long-cherished wish of the elderly in Namhae-gun, has been successfully completed and the completion ceremony is being held. We thank everyone involved,” adding, “We hope that the Namhae-gun Senior Citizens' Center will establish itself as a hub space that fosters unity and communication among the elderly in Namhae-gun.”

In his congratulatory remarks, Governor Jang said, “Although the Korea Senior Citizens Association Namhae-gun Branch is a key institution representing the elderly, it faced difficulties due to the lack of an independent facility. However, since 2021, we have actively reviewed the necessity of the Senior Citizens' Center and prepared step by step, resulting in this excellent outcome. I sincerely congratulate everyone,” and added, “The Namhae-gun Senior Citizens' Center will be a space befitting the status of Namhae-gun as an elderly-friendly city. We look forward to it becoming a place for culture, welfare, and communication for the elderly of Namhae-gun.”
