[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Uiwang City announced on the 10th that its 'Eco Adventure Development Project' has been selected for Gyeonggi Province's '2020 City and County Leisure Sports Tourism Revitalization Contest' and has secured 500 million won in provincial funding.

Following the selection, the Eco Adventure Development Project will be implemented at Resolé Park (307 Wangsong Mot-dong-ro, Uiwang City) on a 1,220 square meter scale with a total budget of 1.5 billion won, comprising 500 million won in provincial funding and 1 billion won in city funding.

Meanwhile, a city official stated, "We were able to be selected for this contest with the help of Gyeonggi Province Council Member Park Geun-chul, who actively explained the necessity of the project to the relevant department of Gyeonggi Province in order to secure provincial budget funding."
