13 Veterans Organizations in Incheon United... Integrated Hall to Be Built in Ganseok-dong by 2025

An integrated hall to bring together veterans' organizations in Incheon will be built in Ganseok-dong, Namdong-gu by the end of 2025.

On the 16th, Incheon City announced plans to construct an integrated veterans' hall in Ganseok-dong with a budget of 26.3 billion KRW. The building will have one basement floor, four above-ground floors, and a total floor area of 4,000㎡.

After reviewing three candidate sites within the city, the city selected Ganseok-dong as the site for the integrated hall due to its superior transportation convenience and accessibility. The integrated hall will be built about a 5-minute drive from the existing Ganseok-dong veterans' hall and will include offices for veterans' organizations, a multipurpose room, conference rooms, and a health promotion room.

The city plans to complete administrative procedures this year, then prioritize an 8.3 billion KRW budget next year to transfer the site and hold a design competition, with the detailed design work to be completed within the same year.

The current veterans' hall was completed 34 years ago, and due to aging facilities, maintenance costs have increased. The space is also limited, causing 10 out of 13 veterans' organizations to be scattered across public and rental buildings, except for 3 organizations. So far, 12 veterans' organizations have expressed their intention to move into the integrated hall.

An official from Incheon City stated, "We are promoting the construction of the integrated veterans' hall as a key project to establish measures to honor veterans." He added, "Once completed, the hall is expected to elevate the status of veterans and become a landmark of 'Patriotic Veterans City Incheon.'"
