This is Yeongcheon-si, a continuous plan that looks at the current issues of local governments in the 8th popular election.

Yeongcheon-si is building the nation's largest horse racing park, and plans to create a synergistic effect by extending the Daegu Urban Railway and creating a large-scale industrial complex.

[Report]

Geumho-eup, Yeongcheon-si, is the site of a 1,450,000-square-meter horse racing park.

It is the 4th horse racing park in Korea and the largest ever.

Since it was selected as a candidate site in 2009, it has recently completed the construction permit and construction company selection, and is expected to start construction next month and open its doors in 2026.

[Lee Sang-jae/Director of Construction City of Yeongcheon City: "When the Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park is opened, it is estimated that up to 9,000 tourists will visit it a day."]

When the park opens, 7,500 new jobs will be hired, and the economic ripple effect will be 1 trillion 8 Yeongcheon City expects it to reach 100 billion won.

The ripple effect is expected to be greater if the Daegu Urban Railway Kumho extension project, which is another emphasis on Yeongcheon City, is completed.

We plan to apply for a pre-feasibility study this year for the urban railway extension project, which is expected to have a floating population of 2 million.

[Ki-Moon Choi / Mayor of Yeongcheon: “The extension of the Kumho Racecourse Park on Daegu Metro Line 1 will allow commuters to and from Daegu within 30 minutes, which will increase the floating population, contributing to population inflow, business attraction and job creation.”]

Sales in October The 1.22 million square meter free economic zone and high-tech park district are also evaluated as major bases to create a synergistic effect for the 경마사이트 development of Yeongcheon.

Yeongcheon-si plans to leap forward as a high-tech city based on a horse racing park and urban railroad.

Local citizens' expectations are being raised to see if that dream will come true.
