Gye-yang District Confirms 64.4 Billion Won Budget for Disability Welfare... Construction of 'Comprehensive Nuri Centre' to Begin in March

Gye-yang District in Incheon (Mayor Yoon Hwan) has significantly increased this year's disability welfare budget compared to last year and is accelerating the construction of the 'Comprehensive Nuri Centre', which will be a key hub for disability welfare.

On the 19th, Gye-yang District announced that it held the '2026 Disability Welfare Committee' in the district office's video conference room, where it reviewed this year's major project plans and directions. The meeting was attended by 12 experts, including leaders of disability organisations, university professors, and heads of welfare facilities, who discussed ways to enhance the effectiveness of policies.

This year's disability welfare budget for Gye-yang District is set at 64.492 billion won for a total of 58 projects. This figure represents an increase of approximately 3.5 billion won compared to last year, and the district aims to establish a more stable and comprehensive support system for disability welfare through this budget.

In particular, the meeting focused on the construction plan for the 'Gye-yang Comprehensive Nuri Centre', a long-awaited project for local people with disabilities. This centre, which will serve as a hub for disability welfare services, is set to begin construction in March. The committee members agreed that the centre should be more than just a facility, but a practical base that helps people with disabilities participate in society and achieve independence.

Mayor Yoon Hwan stated, "I will actively reflect the vivid voices from the field proposed through the committee in our policies," and added, "We will continuously discover specialised and tailored welfare services unique to Gye-yang District so that local people with disabilities can feel changes in their daily lives."
