This project involves expanding the existing community center within the Mohyeon-eup Administrative Welfare Center to a total floor area of 1,542 square meters, spanning from one basement level to three above-ground floors.

The city plans to invest 9.9 billion won to create various community, leisure, and cultural spaces for local residents, including: a cultural lecture room, office, multipurpose room, gym, GX room, and meeting room.

With the project having passed the review, Cheoin-gu intends to establish a shared property management plan this year and complete the processes of architectural planning, design competition, and detailed design next year. If the plans proceed smoothly, the "Mohyeon-eup Community Center Expansion Project" is expected to begin construction in 2028 and be completed in the second half of 2029.

The Mohyeon-eup Administrative Welfare Center was built in 2006. At that time, the population of Mohyeon-eup was about 20,000, but due to the move-in of large-scale apartment complexes, the population had increased to approximately 36,000 as of March this year, making it the most populous area among the seven towns and townships in Cheoin-gu.

While some spaces within the Administrative Welfare Center, which was completed over 20 years ago, have been used as the community center, Mohyeon-eup residents have voiced concerns over a lack of space and outdated facilities, which have made it difficult to run programs effectively.

Mayor Lee Sangil stated, "Through the Mohyeon-eup Community Center Expansion Project, we expect to provide spaces where local residents can engage in daily life, cultural, and leisure activities. We will make every effort to ensure the smooth progress of the project so that local residents' inconveniences can be resolved."
