The city spent about KRW 11.5 billion to build the parking lot on a 1,338-square-meter site, with a total floor area of 2,932 square meters and three above-ground floors comprising four parking levels. After drawing up a project plan in 2019, the city purchased the site, completed the design and held a briefing for residents, then began construction in September last year. Residents' opinions were reflected in the design, and the facility's layout and exterior were determined with privacy at neighboring buildings taken into account.


About 50 people attended the completion ceremony, including Namyangju Mayor Choi Hyun-deok, provincial and city council members, and local residents. They heard about the project's progress, took part in a ribbon-cutting ceremony and toured the parking lot.

Mayor Choi said, "I expect the completion of the Dasan No. 6 Public Parking Lot to ease residents' parking difficulties and improve access for customers visiting nearby businesses. We will continue to expand parking facilities that are closely tied to residents' daily lives and create a more convenient and pleasant living environment."
