Changwon Special City Holds Completion Ceremony for Masan Gagopa Fish Market Public Parking Lot and Customer Support Center

Changwon City in Gyeongnam held a completion ceremony for the ‘Masan Gagopa Fish Market Public Parking Lot and Customer Support Center’ at 11 a.m. on the 28th at Masan Gagopa Fish Market.

Jomyeongrae, the 2nd Deputy Mayor of Changwon Special City, is delivering a congratulatory speech.

Masan Gagopa Fish Market operates both wholesale and retail businesses, but had insufficient parking spaces for customers. To provide convenience to customers, Changwon City was selected for the Small and Medium Business Administration’s parking environment improvement project in 2021 and invested a total of 9 billion KRW to build a parking lot with 75 spaces.

Additionally, to revitalize the traditional market, which has been stagnant due to COVID-19 over the past three years, a refund event for Onnuri gift certificates was held. However, Masan Gagopa Fish Market lacked a customer support center, causing significant inconvenience to customers during the refund event. Accordingly, Changwon City invested a total of 500 million KRW to construct a single-story customer support center.

The customer support center is equipped with spaces such as a customer service center to assist customers, an education space and meeting rooms to enhance merchants’ capabilities, and an office for the merchants’ association, making it a space that satisfies both customers and merchants.

Jo Myeong-rae, the second vice mayor, said, “Masan Gagopa Fish Market has a long history and tradition, but there were many inconveniences due to aging facilities. I am pleased that today’s completion ceremony can somewhat alleviate the difficulties faced by merchants.” He added, “Changwon City will continue to improve convenience facilities in traditional markets to create traditional markets that many citizens visit.”
