At the opening ceremony held on December 8, around 60 people, including local residents and Mayor Kim Donggeun, attended to celebrate the launch of the new space.

This initiative aims to expand community spaces for resident communication and create jobs for seniors. It is being recognized as a model case of proactive administration by utilizing vacant space within the government building. In particular, it has increased the utilization of city policy spaces and furthered the goals of resident welfare and job creation.

The newly established resident shared space and caf? will operate temporarily and irregularly throughout December, with full-scale operations scheduled to begin in 2026.

Choi Sanho, Head of the Autonomous Civil Affairs Department, stated, "The creation of the resident shared space on the first floor of the government building was designed to provide a place for local residents to communicate with one another and to create job opportunities for seniors to enjoy a second life after retirement. We will continue to focus on ways to improve the quality of life for our citizens."
