Overview of the Myeongji Port Project
Myeongji Port in Gangseo-gu required aging essential fishing and safety facilities due to a long-term lack of investment in infrastructure that threatened resident safety. To address this, the port participated in this competitive project and was selected.
The project duration is set for three years, from 2025 to 2027, with a total project budget of 4.36 billion won, including 3 billion won from national funds, 392 million won from city funds, and 916 million won from district funds.
