Completion of Hwaseong 'Gohang' Fishing Village New Deal Project... Completion Ceremony on the 30th

Gyeonggi Province will hold a completion ceremony for Hwaseong’s ‘Go-on Port Fishing Village New Deal Project,’ the fourth achievement of the ‘Fishing Village New Deal 300’ project, on the 30th.

The Go-on Port Fishing Village New Deal Project in Hwaseong City, funded with 9.3 billion KRW from national and local governments from 2020 to 2023, improved residential conditions by renovating fishing port safety facilities, creating the Cony Peace Square, and constructing a multipurpose support center, while establishing a tourism infrastructure to generate village income.

Gyeonggi Province first demolished the seafood direct sales center around Go-on Port, which had outdated distribution facilities and underdeveloped infrastructure due to long-term neglect, and created and thoroughly maintained ‘Cony Peace Square,’ equipped with a camping site, Peace Plaza, and rest shelters.

Additionally, in line with the theme ‘Clam Village Blooming the Flower of Peace, Go-on-ri Village,’ the multipurpose support center will promote the sixth industrialization of the fishing village by developing clam-themed products and operating a clam caf?.

Gong Jeong-sik, Director of the Gyeonggi Province Agriculture, Fisheries and Life Sciences Bureau, said, "Go-on Port, located inside the Maehyang-ri shooting range, was once a symbol of war suffering with the continuous sound of airplane bombings, but through the Fishing Village New Deal 300 project, it has been reborn as a symbol of peace." He added, "Gyeonggi Province will continue to strive for regional development by reorganizing fishing villages in the province and developing fishing village tourism resources for metropolitan citizens through the Fishing Village New Deal 300 project and the Fishing Village Vitalization Promotion Project."

Meanwhile, the Fishing Village New Deal 300 is a Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries public contest project aimed at modernizing living infrastructure and discovering regional specialized projects in 300 fishing villages and ports nationwide to revitalize local communities.

Gyeonggi Province completed four sites including Hwaseong Baekmi Port in 2022, Siheung Oido, Ansan Haengnang-gok Port, and Hwaseong Go-on Port, and plans to continue the achievements of the Fishing Village New Deal 300 project by additionally completing two sites, Pyeongtaek Gwongwan Port and Hwaseong Gukhwado Port.
