Ganghwa County, Seonwon-myeon Resident Complex Center Construction 'On Track'...Completion in 2026

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Construction of the Seonwon-myeon Resident Complex Center, being pursued by Ganghwa County for the promotion of resident welfare, is progressing without setbacks.

According to the county on the 22nd, as large-scale apartment complexes are currently being developed in Seonwon-myeon, explosive population growth is expected in the future. To address administrative needs, the county has been promoting the construction project for the Seonwon-myeon Resident Complex Center since last year.

The existing Seonwon-myeon Office, built in 1989, is aging and has a limited total floor area of 1,497.18㎡, making it urgent to construct a new government building that keeps pace with changing surrounding conditions.

The county plans to invest 10.9 billion won to build a new government office with a site area of 6,043㎡ and a total floor area of 2,200㎡ spanning basement 1 floor to 3 stories above ground in the Geumwol-ri area, lot 252-1, Seonwon-myeon.

The building will house not only a resident center but also a multipurpose hall, table tennis court, club rooms, and fitness center, and will be developed as a complex community facility with leisure and cultural space functions for residents.

The county passed investment review and public architecture deliberation in 2023 for the government building construction. The county plans to complete urban management plan decisions in March this year, select a winning design through design competitions in April, and complete land compensation in May.

The county plans to swiftly proceed with remaining procedures such as detailed design, break ground on construction this year, and complete the resident complex center building by 2026.

Acting County Governor Yoon Do-young stated, "The newly transformed Seonwon-myeon Resident Complex Center is planned to be developed as a complex community space that can provide residents with venues for education, health, and cultural activities," and added, "We will expedite the project to provide high-quality administrative services."
