On May 31, the district announced that it will begin operating the Doksan Dongwoo Market Win-Win Center "Green Butcher Shop," located at 11, Beoman-ro 19-gil, Doksan-dong, starting June 1. The facility spans a total floor area of 7,818 square meters and consists of two basement levels and six floors above ground.

The Green Butcher Shop was created to address sanitary issues such as bad odors and wastewater in the Woo Market area, and to expand convenience facilities for local residents. The first basement level houses a livestock processing room, the first floor offers a community room and café for residents, floors two through five feature a parking lot with 80 spaces, and the sixth floor includes a customer lounge, education room, and livestock training room.

In particular, it is notable that the Green Butcher Shop was developed as a public facility to resolve sanitary issues related to livestock products. During the pilot period, the district will focus on ensuring stable operation of key facilities, including the wastewater treatment system and livestock processing room.

The parking lot will be open 24 hours a day, year-round, with a fee of 150 won per five minutes. The community room and education room will be available for paid rental and can be used for lectures, seminars, and various other purposes. Through the pilot operation, the district aims to address any operational issues and enhance user convenience.

Meanwhile, the district began securing the site in 2019 and carried out construction from 2023 to 2025. Since then, it has been preparing for the opening by finishing interior work and installing necessary equipment.

A district official stated, "We will operate the Green Butcher Shop so that it can contribute to environmental improvement and the revitalization of the Woo Market area."
