Pyeongeun-myeon in Yeongju City Selected for 'General Rural Development Project'... Second Phase of Living Hub Creation Accelerates
Pyeongeun-myeon in Yeongju City, North Gyeongsang Province, has been finally selected as a new district in the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs' '2026 General Rural Development Project' individual competition, accelerating the implementation of the second phase of the Basic Living Base Creation Project.
The goal of this project is to establish core hubs in eup and myeon areas that can provide various daily services such as education, culture, and welfare, and to connect these hubs to surrounding villages, thereby dramatically improving the living conditions in rural areas.
With this selection, Yeongju City has secured a total budget of 2 billion KRW (1.4 billion KRW from the national government and 600 million KRW from local funds), which will be used over five years from 2026 to 2030 to expand service infrastructure in the Pyeongeun-myeon area.
In particular, the core of this second phase is to further expand the delivery system for education, culture, and welfare services, centering on the 'Yeongjuho Munhwalaru Center,' which has been under development as part of the first phase since 2021.
The project will focus on four main areas: 1) establishing a community-based service system, including 'Village Caregiver Training,' 2) operating customized welfare programs for residents, 3) training digital senior center and online service managers, and 4) providing daily-life-oriented care and meal delivery services.
Lee Jaehun, acting mayor, stated, "With this project selection, Pyeongeun-myeon has established the foundation to become a true living hub," and added, "We will do our best to provide practical services that residents can truly experience."
