Namwon City in North Jeolla Province is accelerating the development of the Manin Park project, which is being promoted as part of a regional development initiative by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
The city announced on the 5th that it will hold a residents' meeting at 10 a.m. on the 7th in the city hall auditorium to gather public opinions on the designation of the regional development project area and the draft of the small-scale environmental impact assessment.
This meeting is part of the procedures outlined in Article 14 of the 'Act on Regional Development and Support' and Article 13 of the 'Environmental Impact Assessment Act.' It aims to explain the project's basic plan, the proposed designation of the regional development project area, and the main contents of the draft environmental impact assessment while listening to various opinions from residents.
The Manin Park project aims to transform the area around the old Namwon Station, which has been underutilized for a long time, into a central urban park accessible to all citizens.
With a total area of 82,635 square meters, the project is expected to cost approximately 30.4 billion won and is scheduled for completion by the end of next year.
The project seeks to create a cultural and tourism hub in Namwon by establishing a memorial and historical ecological theme park connecting Manin Memorial, Namwon Fortress, and Gwanghanru Pavilion, thereby revitalizing the area and improving residents' quality of life.
A city official from the Urban Planning Department stated, “Manin Park will serve as a historical and ecological space in the city, linking Namwon Fortress and Manin Memorial, where the daily lives of citizens and the history of Namwon will harmoniously coexist. We encourage active participation and interest in the residents' meeting.”
