The spaces being opened this time are located on the 2nd and 3rd floors, totaling 113 parking spots. This measure goes beyond simply providing parking; it is a meaningful policy designed to stimulate local consumption and support small business owners. The city also expects to see increased sales through the use of the Changwon Love Gift Certificate, “Nubijeon.”


In addition to leasing and operating the parking lot, the city plans to deploy professional safety management personnel on-site and has secured personal and property insurance to ensure the safety of citizens and facilities.



Park Jinyeol, Director of the Economic and Jobs Bureau, stated, “By offering free parking, we will enhance convenience for citizens and contribute to revitalizing local businesses. We hope many citizens will take advantage of this opportunity to shop for Chuseok at traditional markets, making it a warm holiday that supports the local economy.”
