Gangdong-gu Secures 3.3 Billion KRW in Seoul Special Adjustment Grants

Creating Barrier-Free Deck Paths in Parks, Renovating Aging Facilities... Preventing Safety Accidents
Accelerating Large-Scale Investment Projects like the 2nd Gumin Sports Center... Doing Our Best for Changes Residents Want

Gangdong-gu (Mayor Lee Soo-hee) announced on the 4th that it has secured 3.357 billion KRW in Seoul Special Adjustment Grants, giving momentum to the promotion of local pending projects.

First, the 'Creating Walkable Paths in Parks Project' secured 1 billion KRW. Barrier-free deck paths or loess paths will be created in three neighborhood parks in the area to provide a pleasant and safe park environment.

Additionally, 990 million KRW will be invested in two children's parks in Cheonho-dong to replace aging facilities, refurbish the flooring, and renovate the spaces into areas that prevent safety accidents and foster children's imagination.

Furthermore, the district expects momentum to build for large-scale facility investment projects. The construction project of the 2nd Community Sports Center (securing 750 million KRW) is being promoted to expand infrastructure for community sports facilities such as multipurpose gyms and swimming pools, in response to the continuous population increase in the Godeok-Gangil living area. With the additional special grant secured this time, the project is expected to accelerate in the second half of the 8th mayoral term.

Moreover, the 'Seongnae 2-dong Senior Center Construction Project' secured approximately 600 million KRW to meet the welfare needs of seniors in Seongnae 2-dong, where senior leisure welfare facilities are insufficient, contributing to the welfare improvement of local residents.

Lee Soo-hee, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, stated, "In the second half of 2024, we will accelerate the promotion of local pending projects so that residents can feel the effects by securing external funding," adding, "We will actively respond to the changes residents want by communicating with them on-site."

In 2023, the district also secured special adjustment grants for local pending projects including ▲Gangdong Forest Library construction (3.8 billion KRW) ▲2nd Community Sports Center construction (3 billion KRW) ▲Sangil 2-dong new office building construction (1 billion KRW) ▲Hansan Elementary School surrounding at-grade intersection improvement project (1.7 billion KRW) ▲District-run Disabled Welfare Center construction (500 million KRW), with a total secured amount of 13.43 billion KRW currently underway.
