The Japanese government has selected the first project for a subsidy program to help revive local communities devastated by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

Reconstruction Minister Wataru Takeshita said on Friday that the government chose the project to build a commercial complex in Onagawa Town, Miyagi Prefecture, northeastern Japan.

Under the program launched in March, the government will provide subsidies to projects to revive shopping areas if they incorporate community facilities.

Takeshita said the planned complex in Onagawa will play a key role in the town's project to create a compact community in its central area.

He expressed hope that the project will restore briskness to the tsunami-hit town.

Town authorities plan to build the complex on raised ground near JR Onagawa Station.

The Reconstruction Ministry says the government will shoulder about 70 percent of the estimated cost of 5.6 million dollars.

The commercial complex is scheduled to open in late 2015.
