Assemblyman Jung Junho of the Democratic Party of Korea (representing Gwangju Buk-gu Gap) and Shin Sujeong, chairman of the Gwangju City Council, held a "residents' meeting" together with the Gwangju Waterworks Headquarters at 3 p.m. on September 12 in the seminar room on the fourth floor of the Gwangju Literature Hall.


The meeting was organized to explain to residents the progress of the water tank conversion construction following the closure of the Gakhwa Water Purification Plant and to explore ways to utilize the surrounding space, which will remain after the construction, as leisure and cultural facilities for the local community.


Assemblyman Jung Junho stated, "It was a meaningful occasion where residents and the administration could communicate and design the future of the region together," adding, "The National Assembly will also continue to show interest and actively support the project."


Chairman Shin Sujeong emphasized, "The City Council will take the lead to ensure that residents' opinions are fully reflected," and added, "We will make every effort to transform the area, especially in Munhwa and Duam-dong, into much-needed leisure and cultural spaces."



Meanwhile, this project will be carried out in the Gakhwa-dong area of Buk-gu (at the Gakhwa Water Purification Plant), with approximately 22.2 billion won to be invested from 2026 to 2029. The Waterworks Headquarters expects that this project will allow residents to enjoy leisure and cultural activities in a better environment.
