The 'Youth Rural Housing Complex Development Project' is being promoted in connection with the Dochomyeon region-specialized rental smart farm (worth 26.4 billion KRW). The project aims to build 30 single-family rental houses and community facilities to ease the housing burden and help young people wishing to return to farming or relocate to rural areas settle down stably. In addition, the community facilities will include childcare centers, a gym, and a reading room, creating a space for harmony between local residents and young people.

With the final selection for the Youth Rural Housing Complex Development Project, a total project budget of 10 billion KRW (5 billion KRW from the national government) will be used for site development and construction, with the goal of completing the project by 2027.

This project is expected to breathe new life into the rural community by providing about 30 youth rental households and shared facilities for young people wishing to return to farming.

Governor Park Wooriang said, "There have been many cases where young people from outside the region who wished to move into smart farms gave up on returning to farming or relocating due to a lack of housing facilities. We hope that by completing the project early, it will serve as a stepping stone to attract young people to rural areas and help them settle down stably."
