Umi Construction announced on the 23rd that it recently delivered the donation to the Jeonju Welfare Foundation at Jeonju City Hall. Kim Younggil, CEO of Umi Construction, and Cho Jihun, Mayor of Jeonju, were among those who attended the donation ceremony.

The contribution will be used for the foundation's "People-Centered Welfare Safety Net Project." This program provides living expenses and nursing care support for low-income children and adolescents, people with disabilities, single-parent families, and households in crisis. The foundation’s Allocation Review Committee determines the recipients by reviewing factors such as income and asset levels, urgency of support, and whether there has been duplicate aid.

CEO Kim Younggil stated, "I believe that it is the responsibility of companies to care for neighbors in need in the community," adding, "We will continue to fulfill our corporate role by growing together with the local communities where our business sites are located."

Umi Construction is involved in the military base relocation and private park development projects in Jeonju. Prior to the donation ceremony, a signing ceremony for the amendment of the 'Jeonju Battalion Relocation and Site Development Project' agreement was held at Jeonju City Hall. Jeonju City, Umi Construction, Cheonma Development, and Janghan General Construction have entered into an agreement and confirmed their status as project operators.

Umi Construction is the largest shareholder in Cheonma Development, which was established for this project, holding a 90% stake. It has also been selected as the preferred negotiation partner for the Northeast Deokjin Park private development project.

A representative from Umi Construction said, "If the two projects progress simultaneously, we expect that residential conditions and the urban landscape in the northeastern area of Jeonju will be improved."
