The Goheung County Comprehensive Welfare Center for the Disabled serves as a strong starting point to support the independence and social participation of people with disabilities in the region. It acts as a welfare hub that provides practical services such as vocational education, training, and job support, helping to establish a foundation for independence and strengthen connections with the local community.

With a total budget of 4.1 billion KRW, the center was built at 49-5 Singyehakrim-gil, Goheung-eup, with a total floor area of 902.96 square meters and three floors above ground.

The first floor houses a workplace for people with disabilities (laundry room), the second floor contains vocational training rooms and offices, and the third floor is home to the Goheung County Association of the Deaf office and a sign language interpretation center, which have now begun operations.

In his commemorative address, Governor Gong Youngmin stated, "As governor, I am always on your side," and added, "We will continue to expand infrastructure such as the welfare center for the disabled and the Bandabi Sports Center to ensure that people with disabilities are not discriminated against in cultural, artistic, and sports activities." He further expressed his hope that "this center will provide practical help to people with disabilities and serve as a strong foundation that supports a dignified life."

With the completion of the Goheung County Comprehensive Welfare Center for the Disabled, Goheung County has established itself as a central hub for welfare encompassing employment, education, culture, and care for people with disabilities, as well as a new base camp of hope. Going forward, the county plans to expand spaces where various groups, including those with physical disabilities, mobility impairments, and visual impairments, can stay together, and to improve service accessibility so that the welfare center is open to everyone.
