[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Pyeongtaek City announced on the 23rd that it has completed the signage improvement project for Oseong-myeon main street.

A total of 95 businesses received 102 new signs installed and 145 aged signs were replaced.

The city was selected in the Gyeonggi Province's "2019 Beautiful Signage Streets Project" contest and invested approximately 330 million won in total budget, including 100 million won in provincial funding support.

Each business was provided with one energy-efficient LED wall sign (up to two at curved points) and LED spotlights manufactured and installed in accordance with design guidelines to create harmony with the surrounding environment. Protruding signs and other signs threatening safety were removed.

Pyeongtaek Mayor Jeong Jang-seon stated, "Although economic downturn continues due to COVID-19, we hope this improvement project will contribute to revitalizing the local economy, and we will continue to expand signage improvement projects by selecting areas in need through contests and similar initiatives."

The city completed the signage improvement project in Jogyetar (Sosabeol Sports Town to Hapjeong Elementary School intersection) main commercial area in January (89 businesses, 119 signs installed, 189 signs improved).
