Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do is making smooth progress on the construction project of the ‘Youth Center,’ which is being promoted as a pledge of the 8th local government administration.

According to the county on the 4th, the ‘Youth Center’ is a facility that young people can use in various ways for information sharing, self-development, and leisure activities.

Since the launch of the 8th local government administration in 2022, the county has thoroughly reviewed plans to build the Youth Center and was selected last year in the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s ‘Community Revitalization Infrastructure Project’ contest.

Securing a project budget of 2.5 billion KRW, the county has prepared a 1,690㎡ site near the Jangseong-gun Citizens’ Hall in the town center and is currently conducting detailed design work. The building will have a floor area of 600㎡ and two floors, equipped with a job center, startup spaces, meeting rooms, counseling rooms, and a multipurpose hall. Construction is scheduled to begin in January next year, with an opening planned for December.

By establishing a youth activity hub facility in the easily accessible town center, the county expects ripple effects such as active communication and exchange among young people, revitalization of startups, and population inflow. Various projects will also be promoted, including support for university tuition, seven support programs in housing, independence, and activity fields, provision of moving-in and marriage congratulatory funds, support for young farmers’ agricultural settlement, and youth job support.

County Governor Kim Han-jong said, “We will continue to discover and promote support policies that young people can feel, filling Jangseong’s future with hope.”
