Yeongdo District is inviting coffee roasteries to the Cheonghak-dong area to create a tourism resource.
The Yeongdo District Office signed a business agreement with 33 coffee companies interested in entering the market once an industrial area revitalization project is established in Cheonghak-dong.
The Land Ministry and the Korea Land and Housing Corporation have chosen the former site of Hankook Tire in 청학동 to be promoted as a so-called “young blue belt” pilot project, which aims to revitalize industrial areas.
Once facilities are built on the site, the district envisions coffee roasting companies and others joining, creating a value chain for the district coffee industry and attracting tourism.
