HDC Hyundai Development Company Holds Meeting with Local Merchants Ahead of June 'Gwangju I-Park' Demolition

HDC Hyundai Development Company held its first meeting with Gwangju Seo-gu and nearby shopping district association officials ahead of the full-scale demolition work at the Gwangju Hwajeong I-Park A1 site.

On the 22nd, HDC Hyundai Development Company’s A1 Promotion Team held a “Safety Realization Win-Win Council” meeting at the site office, attended by the Gwangju Seo-gu Accident Response Support Team and the Kumho Highville Shopping District Association. This was the first time that merchants around the site participated in the Safety Realization Win-Win Council meeting.

At the meeting, HDC Hyundai Development Company officials promised to ensure thorough site management to protect the safety of nearby residents and reduce noise and dust dispersion.

Kim Pil-su, chairman of the Kumho Highville Shopping District Association, said, “The safety of residents, merchants, and customers visiting the shopping district is the top priority,” adding, “We will communicate with HDC Hyundai Development Company in a reasonable manner to find common ground.”

HDC Hyundai Development Company decided to take responsibility for the Gwangju Hwajeong I-Park exterior wall collapse accident that occurred in January last year by demolishing and rebuilding the entire building. The full-scale demolition work is scheduled to begin at the end of June and will continue for about two years.
