Full Budget Secured for Suwon Ohyeon Elementary School Gymnasium Project

"I am pleased that we can now build a multipurpose gymnasium at Ohyeon Elementary School in Omokcheon-dong, Suwon."

Grand National Party Representative Jeong Mi-kyeong (Suwon, Gwonseon District) said this in a New Year's interview with our publication on the 16th.

Representative Jeong stated, "I secured 666 million won in special transfer grants from the Ministry of Education and Science for the construction of the Ohyeon Elementary gymnasium," and added, "I met with the Minister of Education, Science and Technology and held dozens of working-level consultations with the ministry."

With this, the total project cost of 1.666 billion won for the gymnasium and connecting corridor expansion at Ohyeon Elementary has been fully secured, making it possible to begin construction in March of this year.

"We faced difficulties in project implementation due to the inability to secure budget funding in the past," said Representative Jeong. "I feel a sense of accomplishment that the gymnasium construction will help alleviate the shortage of community event spaces and can be utilized as a venue for parents and residents to participate and communicate."

The gymnasium construction project covers 796 square meters for the gymnasium and 256 square meters for the connecting corridor, with a completion target of February 2012.
