The framework for successful settlement conditions for the Honam semiconductor cluster project will be unveiled on September 29.


The semiconductor cluster project involves Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix investing 800 trillion won to construct four semiconductor fabs at the Gwangju military airport site.


The Blue House announced that President Lee Jae-myung will preside over the 'Third Public-Private Joint Review Meeting for Mega Projects' at 3 p.m. on September 29.


This meeting will be the third convened by President Lee, who holds these sessions monthly. It will also be the first meeting since the establishment of the National Strategic Investment Advisory Office, a dedicated organization within the Blue House.


During the first meeting, the Gwangju military airport was finalized as the site for the semiconductor cluster, while the second meeting addressed plans for essential infrastructure, including water and power supply, necessary for the cluster's operation.


The focus of the third meeting will be on strategies to create key settlement conditions for skilled professionals and their families.


Key settlement conditions include tailored housing infrastructure for high-level talent, expansion of a 30-minute metropolitan transportation network, and access to quality education and job opportunities for spouses.


Additionally, high-quality medical and welfare social overhead capital, along with support linked to semiconductor industry infrastructure, are also critical tasks.
