The Gwangyang Port East and West Side Hinterland Expansion Project is being implemented to resolve the shortage of land by utilizing idle areas (210,000㎡) such as green spaces and parking lots as logistics sites due to the increasing demand from tenant companies.

This project will carry out the detailed design by December this year, start the expansion project in 2023, and plan to provide the logistics sites to tenant companies in 2024.

An official stated, "We will continuously communicate with prospective tenant companies and nearby residents during the project and actively reflect their demands."

Vice President Choi Sang-heon said, "This Gwangyang Port East and West Side Hinterland Expansion Project will greatly contribute to the local economy by attracting tenant companies and expanding the port logistics industry."
