Work Progress by Section
  • As of the end of August 2019, the Industrial Complex (18.5㎢) is divided into 9 reclamation sections with the overall process rate standing at 27.9%*.
    *Out of the total project cost of KRW 2.55 trillion, KRW 707.1 billion (including national budget of KRW 47.2 billion) has been spent.
  • Out of 9 sections, 4 sections (1, 2, 5, 6) are in progress and 5 sections (3, 4, 7, 8, 9) yet to be launched.
    • Section 1 (1.84㎢): Reclamation work completed
    • Section 2 (2.55㎢): Reclamation work completed
    • Section 5 (1.81㎢): Reclamation work completedSection 6 (1.90㎢): Reclamation in progress (93%)
    *Sections 3, 4, 7, 8, 9: Not kicked off yet (Contractors are yet to be redesignated)

※ The Ministry of Economy and Finance adjusted the public institutions’ functions (Nov. 2017, the Ownership Steering Committee)
- The SDIA decided to develop the sections that were not kicked off on its own.
* (Previous) Development by private investors → (Present) Development by a project operator (Korea Rural Community Corporation)
