Muan County in Jeonnam-Gwangju will demolish its existing county office building and construct a new one, temporarily relocating the departments currently based there to several temporary offices.

The county said on November 13 that it had assigned temporary offices to each department, taking into account the nature of their work and accessibility, to maintain continuity of administrative services during construction of the new county office and reduce inconvenience for residents seeking services.

The new county office building will be constructed on the site of the current Muan County Office. It will have one basement level and eight aboveground floors, with a total floor area of 21,600 square meters. Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2027, with completion targeted for the end of 2029.

A total of five departments will move into the Muan Complex Cultural Center. The Architecture Division will be on the third floor and the Regional Development Division on the fourth floor; both will begin receiving visitors on November 30. The Social Welfare Division will be on the first floor, the Regional Economy Division on the second floor, and the Resident Services Division on the fourth floor. These three departments will begin work on December 14.

The county governor's office, deputy county governor's office, and other key administrative departments will move into the former public health center. The second floor will house the county governor's office, deputy county governor's office, Planning Office, and Autonomous Administration Division. The first floor will house the Accounting Division, Tax Division, and Future Growth Division.

The Construction Division, Marine and Fisheries Division, and Environment Division will move to the third floor of the Sports Park. The Safety Management Division, Forest and Parks Division, CCTV Control Center, and Disaster Situation Room will be located in the former Election Commission building.

The Tourism Division will move to Hoesan Baekryeonji, while the Civil Affairs and Land Registration Division, Transportation Administration Division, and Nonghyup branch office are scheduled to relocate to the former Muan Nonghyup building.

The detailed relocation schedules and start-of-work dates for the remaining departments and facilities, excluding the five departments moving to the Muan Complex Cultural Center, will be finalized later and announced separately.

The county plans to provide more information about each department's new location and start-of-work date to minimize confusion among residents and any disruption to services during the relocations.

A county official said, "As the relocation of the county office is unavoidable due to construction of the new building, we ask residents to check in advance where each department will be located and when it will begin work. We will do our utmost to ensure that resident-focused administrative services continue to be provided smoothly throughout the relocation period."
