2 min read

The government announced that the Gwangju military airport is a candidate location for a semiconductor cluster industrial complex in the southwestern region. At a Mega Project public-private review briefing, Chief of the Office of the President Kang Hoon-sik said companies preferred the Gwangju military airport among Honam options and that roughly 2.5 million pyeong can be secured. Officials highlighted pre-leveled airport land to shorten site preparation, proximity to downtown Gwangju and a KTX station to help staffing and housing, and strong logistics links when integrated with roads, the airport and ports. The government said it will consult ministries and promptly conclude site selection procedures.
