Pyeongtaek City (Mayor Choi Wonyong) is presenting designation certificates after adding four alley-type shopping districts to its list on the 21st to revitalize neighborhood businesses and support small business owners. Provided by Pyeongtaek City.

The newly designated districts, numbered 12 through 15, are Pyeongtaek Godeok Small Business District (around 118 Godeokgukje 3-gil; 25 stores), Central Xi (around 50 Sangseojae-ro; 123 stores), Sosabeol Rodeo (around 20-24 Vision 5-ro; 61 stores), and Pyeongtaek Jungang (around 60 Jungang-ro; 189 stores).

With the additions, the number of alley-style shopping districts and shopping areas in Pyeongtaek has increased from 12 to 16. A total of 1,770 stores are eligible for support.

Designation as an alley-style shopping district makes businesses eligible to register as merchants accepting Onnuri gift certificates and to apply for various public grant programs. The city plans to use the designations to boost spending in neighborhood commercial areas and strengthen the foundations for small business owners to operate independently.

“We hope these new designations will bring fresh energy to the commercial districts and help small business owners stabilize their operations,” Pyeongtaek Mayor Choi Wonyong said. “Let’s work together to address the various issues facing these commercial districts and revitalize them.”

About 10 people, including Mayor Choi and the heads of the newly designated shopping district merchants’ associations, attended the certificate presentation ceremony that day and discussed issues facing the commercial districts.
