[Financial News] Seocho Fire Academy will be able to build an additional elderly welfare facility on the site of the existing Seocho District Elderly Nursing Center.
Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 10th that it had approved, with modifications, the 'Designation of District Unit Planning Area and Decision on Plan for the Area Around the Seocho Fire Academy Site' at the 15th Joint Urban Planning and Architecture Committee meeting held on the 9th.
The key point is that the site, left abandoned after the Seoul Fire Academy relocated to Eunpyeong District in 2018, was designated as a special planning zone, laying the foundation for the additional supply of elderly welfare facilities.
The city established this district unit plan to supply welfare facilities for the elderly in preparation for a super-aged society. Ahn Dae-hee, Director General of Future Space Planning at the Seoul Metropolitan Government, stated, "We expect this decision to further accelerate the expansion of related policy facilities."
