In particular, as a youth-specialized facility, it will operate various programs in which young people can freely participate.

Additionally, there will be spaces such as a cartoon creation room, a craft workshop, a dance practice room, and a singing practice room. Through various program rooms, opportunities for cultural and artistic activities will be provided, further strengthening the sense of community in the region.

The county expects that this facility, which supports local youth to enjoy diverse opportunities and grow within the community, will help prevent regional decline and revitalize the area.

County Governor Shim Deokseop said, "This space will be a place of dreams and hope for local youth, and as an essential step for the sustainable development of the region, I hope many people will be able to communicate and grow here in the future."
