Gwangju City Opens Urban Regeneration 'Eoulrim Center' Parking Lot Free of Charge Starting July

[Suwon Ilbo=Eom In-yong Reporter] Gwangju City announced on the 26th that ahead of the full opening of the Urban Regeneration Eoulrim Center in Songjeong-dong, Ujeonge, it will temporarily open the parking lot within the Eoulrim Center free of charge starting July 1st.

The Eoulrim Center is an urban regeneration complex facility newly constructed over approximately 2 years from August 2023, integrating the former Songjeong Agricultural Cooperative, nearby restaurants, and the existing public parking lot site. It completed construction in April and is currently undergoing interior work.

The Eoulrim Center is currently operating with a trial run of the 'Songjeong-dong Happy Village Management Office' in residence, and in the future, complex residential convenience facilities such as a small library and the Together Childcare Center will sequentially move in.

In particular, the parking lot has been significantly expanded from the existing 1st floor scale to underground 2 floors and ground level, creating a total of 80 parking spaces (△general type 43 spaces △expanded type 23 spaces △compact type 7 spaces △disabled 2 spaces △eco-friendly vehicle 5 spaces).

Meanwhile, the parking lot will operate free of charge for two months from July to August, and from September when the center officially opens, it will transition to paid operation.

Park Ki-ju, head of the Construction Division, said, "Securing parking space is an important factor that determines resident settlement conditions and residential environment improvement satisfaction," adding, "We hope this parking lot opening will provide practical assistance in resolving the chronic parking problems in Ujeonge village."
