Gyeonggi-do Announces Resource Circulation Village Project Contest... Until March 4

Gyeonggi Province will hold a contest for the ‘Creating Resource Circulation Villages’ project from the 24th of this month to the 4th of next month.

The Creating Resource Circulation Villages project is a program that supports resident communities to actively participate in solving household waste problems within the village and establishing a resource circulation culture.

The contest targets resident communities of 10 or more people living in the province, or companies, institutions, schools, and social organizations working together with residents in the province.

Resource Circulation Hub Creation villages will receive up to 30 million KRW, and Resource Circulation Village Activation villages will receive up to 20 million KRW. The project period is from March to October.

Gyeonggi Province will hold an explanatory session at 2 p.m. on the 17th at the Gyeonggi Women’s Vision Center to help understand the contest project.
