Goseong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, Promotes Rural Vacant House Renovation Project to Improve Residential Environment

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Song Jong-gu] Goseong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, is promoting a rural vacant house maintenance project this year to prevent safety accidents caused by vacant houses and improve the residential environment in rural fishing villages.

The rural vacant house maintenance project subsidizes part of the demolition costs when the building owner voluntarily demolishes a vacant house left unattended in the eup or myeon area. Eligible applicants are those with houses that have not been occupied or used for more than one year.

The project covers a total of 39 buildings, including 32 with slate roofs and 7 with regular roofs, providing up to 1.5 million KRW per household for demolition costs.

Those who wish to apply should submit their applications to the eup or myeon office where the house is located by the 24th of this month.

Lee Hyun-joo, Director of the Architecture Development Division, stated, “We will do our best to maintain vacant houses that not only spoil the local scenery but also pose safety threats, to alleviate the inconvenience of the residents.”
