Muan County is providing financial support for ramp installations to improve access for people with disabilities, seniors, and those using strollers at restaurants.
The county announced it is seeking additional participants for its 'Restaurant Ramp Support Project' to enhance dining accessibility for vulnerable populations facing difficulties due to stairs or height differences at restaurant entrances.
Eligible establishments include general and snack restaurants with standing tables, and selected businesses will receive up to 800,000 won for ramp installation costs.
The initiative aims to create a more convenient and safe environment for wheelchair users, seniors with mobility challenges, and families with strollers to access restaurants.
Interested establishments should check the announcements on the Muan County website and submit the required application forms in person to the Health Administration Division's sanitation team by October 20.
The county will review submitted documents and conduct on-site inspections before finalizing support recipients through a sanitation business support review committee.
Muan County believes that ramp installations will not only enhance restaurant accessibility for vulnerable populations but also reduce the financial burden on business owners for facility improvements.
Na Sang-hyun, Director of the Health Administration Division, stated, "We hope that the installation of ramps will allow residents with mobility challenges to use restaurants more conveniently and safely. We also encourage many establishments to participate, as this will alleviate the installation cost burden on business owners."
For more details on the application process and required documents, please visit the Muan County website, or contact the Health Administration Division's sanitation team.
