;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">In January 2010, the South Korean Navy signed two contracts with two construction firms to build pier facilities. Construction began in January 2011. By August, about 14 percent of the contract had been spent on initial construction work, but significant progress had not been made due to local resistance to the base.

Trying to prevent dredging and bulldozing, residents of Gangjeong have been living in tents in and near areas where construction is planned or ongoing. In addition to protests, the villagers have filed lawsuits to try to block construction, and have widely publicized their opposition.
