Paldal-gu Receives Donation from Suwon Urban Regeneration Division Staff

On the 12th, after business hours, Paldal-gu received a visit from staff members of the Urban Regeneration Division.

The visit was made to present prize money received from winning the prestigious grand prize at the "1st Korea Landscape Awards" earlier this month by Lee Yong-ho, director of the Suwon Urban Regeneration Division, and his staff, as well as a portion of condolence money following the passing of the director's father at the age of 88.

In particular, the grand prize was awarded for the "Hwaseong Historical and Cultural Landscape Improvement Project," which created historical landscapes centered on the UNESCO World Heritage Suwon Hwaseong through cultural heritage restoration, management of viewpoints for fortress facilities, and creation of historic routes. Of the 2 million won prize, this amount will be donated to Haenggung-dong, the area where the project was conducted, for underprivileged neighbors, while 6 million won will be designated as a donation to the Community Chest of Korea to be delivered to those in need through Paldal Happiness Plus.

Urban Regeneration Division Director Lee Yong-ho said, "The grand prize at the 1st Korea Landscape Awards was achieved as a result of Suwon citizens and all public officials working together, and it is right that the award money be used for the citizens."
