Muan County in South Jeolla Province has officially begun construction on a cultural center that will provide residents of the Oryong district with integrated cultural, care, administrative, and health services.
On the morning of September 1, Muan County held a groundbreaking ceremony for the 'Oryong Cultural Center' at the construction site located at 313-2 Oryong-ri, Ilwon-eup.
The ceremony was attended by around 100 people, including county officials, invited guests, and local residents. The event featured a pre-performance by the county's traditional music ensemble, followed by a project progress report, speeches, a ceremonial groundbreaking, and a group photo.
The Oryong Cultural Center will be built with a total investment of 25.5 billion won, covering an area of 6,497 square meters and consisting of four stories. The project aims for completion by 2028.
The center will house a community cultural center, a shared care center, a joint childcare space, an Oryong branch office, and a health support center.
Once completed, residents will have access to a range of public services closely related to their daily lives, including cultural activities, child care, administrative tasks, and health management, all in one location.
The facility is expected to address the growing demand for living SOC and public services in response to the increasing population and changing living conditions in the Oryong district.
Muan County plans to intensify construction following the groundbreaking and aims to complete the project within the planned timeframe through effective progress and safety management. Additionally, preparations for the operation of the center will be gradually implemented to ensure it serves as a space for residents' cultural and welfare activities and communication.
Kim San, the mayor of Muan County, expressed hope that the Oryong Cultural Center will enhance residents' cultural and welfare opportunities and improve their quality of life, stating, "We will carry out the project without any setbacks to create a multifunctional cultural space that residents can conveniently use."
The Oryong Cultural Center represents a shift from standalone cultural facilities to a multifunctional public facility that integrates cultural, care, childcare, administrative, and health-related functions within a single building. Muan County believes that once completed, the center will reduce the inconvenience of residents having to visit multiple institutions and improve accessibility to public services in the Oryong district.
