The 'Geumchon Civil-Military Complex Community Center,' a key facility of the urban regeneration project in Geumchon, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, will be completed in July.
The urban regeneration project is aimed at revitalizing declining cities by introducing new functions and strengthening resident capabilities through the utilization of local resources, as well as creating key facilities, in response to population decline, changes in industrial structure, and aging residential environments.
This project involves establishing the Geumchon Civil-Military Complex Community Center to expand the insufficient public welfare and cultural infrastructure within the nearby living area, and simultaneously promoting street environment and park maintenance projects using locally specialized products to create safe and pleasant streetscapes.
The Geumchon Civil-Military Complex Community Center is located at 947-28 Geumchon-dong, Paju-si, and consists of two basement floors and four above-ground floors, with a total floor area of 5,652 square meters.
Built on the site of the former Paju Registry Office and Court in the old downtown area of Geumchon-dong, the space will provide a resting area for military personnel working in the district, as well as sequentially open facilities such as the 'DMZ Wildflower Experience Museum' to promote and exhibit local specialty products, a youth rest cafe, a youth startup support center, and the 'I Sarang Playground' offering play and rest spaces for adolescents.
Gyeonggi-do achieved the highest number nationwide with 66 sites selected by applying for the government’s urban regeneration contest project in cooperation with cities, counties, and urban regeneration support centers to revitalize declining old downtown areas within the province.
