This project is a local economic revitalization policy that the city has been promoting since last year. Its main focus is to support promotional and marketing activities, as well as environmental improvements, in order to revitalize stagnant alley commercial areas.
The newly selected districts for support are: Wondong Shopping District, Areumdaro Shopping District, Osandae Station Shopping District, and Unamteul Shopping District. Wondong Shopping District will receive support for promotional video production and customer experience events. Areumdaro Shopping District will be supported with busking performances. Osandae Station Shopping District and Unamteul Shopping District will each receive support for busking performances and promotional video production, respectively.
These shopping districts will receive a total subsidy of 60 million won and are scheduled to fully launch the project starting next month. The city expects that this support will help merchants establish a foundation to independently lead the commercial districts.
Lee Gwonjae, Mayor of Osan City, said, "I hope this project will serve as a spark of hope to revive the local economy starting from the alleys, so that small business owners can smile again."
