Finally
The “JR Ashiya Station South District Redevelopment Project” seemed to have faced various difficulties since the previous mayor’s administration, but the current mayor has partially revised the plan, and it looks like the city has been re-recruiting project operators since July 5〜
With demolition of the buildings in front of the south exit now underway, it feels like the redevelopment is gradually starting to move forward.
