Gongju City in Chungnam announced on the 8th that three projects, including the creation of the Baekje Cultural Complex, were selected for the Chungcheongnam-do Balanced Development Public Contest, securing 30 billion KRW in provincial funding.

The "Baekje Cultural Complex (Experience Village) Development Project" is a collaborative initiative in which Gongju, Buyeo, and Cheongyang each establish Baekje cultural tourism hubs to foster connection and cooperation. The city plans to invest a total project cost of 40 billion KRW (15 billion KRW in provincial funding) to create the Ungjin Baekje Culture Village on the second-phase site of the cultural tourism area.

For the "G-Digital Innovation Platform Establishment Project," which aims to foster a 3D printing hub facility by creating a Culture Convergence Complex Center within the Knowledge Industry Center, a total project cost of 15 billion KRW will be invested, including 7.5 billion KRW in provincial funding.

The "Food Safety R&D Cluster Infrastructure Project" involves building public infrastructure within the Donghyeon-dong Smart Creative City Complex, which Gongju City is currently promoting.

The main office of the Korea Food Safety Management Certification Institute, known as "HACCP," is scheduled to be established here. The city plans to link the innovation complex, industrial complex, new city, and metropolitan transportation network to foster this area as a hub for the food and bio industries.

Mayor Choi Woncheol stated, "With the selection of these public contest projects, we can now accelerate the foundation for securing future growth engines, including the core projects of Gongju City's 8th popularly elected administration," and added, "We will continuously seek new growth opportunities for Gongju City and achieve a strong and happy Gongju for our citizens through new challenges."
