In particular, the Seolbong 2nd Prugio Apartment and Shinhan 1st Apartment in Jeungpo-dong, which relocated their rest areas from underground to above ground to improve working conditions, were selected as excellent complexes.

Next year, the city plans to select 18 locations for the security and cleaning worker rest facility improvement project and provide up to 5 million KRW per complex as project funding.

Kim Kyung-hee, Mayor of Icheon City, said, "We ask for active participation from citizens so that the security and cleaning worker rest facility improvement project can proceed well next year as well."
