Icheon's Long-Neglected Apartment Complex in Jangho-won Township Restarts Construction After 27 Years

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Eom In-yong] The so-called 'eyesore apartment complex' in Ihwang-ri, Jangho-won Township, Icheon City, which had been left abandoned for an extended period and was considered a representative community concern, has restarted construction after 27 years.

The apartment complex saw its construction halted for a prolonged period, not only damaging the urban landscape but also causing resident inconvenience and safety concerns.

In response, Mayor Kim Kyung-hee, since taking office, has achieved concrete results through active administrative mediation from the 8th elected term of Icheon City, consultations with relevant agencies, and support for business normalization, enabling the project to advance in earnest.

The project operator and construction company held a construction resumption ceremony and safety blessing on the morning of the 26th at the project site in Ihwang-ri, Jangho-won Township.

Local residents and related officials attended the event to jointly celebrate the normalization of the project that had been stalled for a long time and to pray for safe and successful construction going forward.

The newly promoted apartment complex starts anew under the name 'Casa Feliz'.

As the long-neglected site undergoes transformation into a residential space, positive effects are expected in improving the area's image, enhancing living conditions, and revitalizing surrounding commercial districts.

Mayor Kim Kyung-hee said, "The restart of the Ihwang-ri apartment project, which has been at a standstill for 27 years, is a precious achievement created together by citizens and administration," and added, "Going forward, we will continue to pursue proactive administration to resolve citizen inconvenience and promote regional development and a pleasant urban environment."
