Yangju City Attends '3rd Gyeongwon Axis Regional Happy Life Zone Council'

Yangju City (Mayor Lee Sung-ho) will attend the '3rd Gyeongwon Axis Regional Happy Life Zone Council' (hereinafter 'Gyeongwon Axis Council') to be held at Dongducheon City Hall on the 5th.

Hosted by Dongducheon City, this meeting will be attended by Yangju Mayor Lee Sung-ho, Uijeongbu Mayor Ahn Byeong-yong, Pocheon Mayor Kim Jong-cheon, Yeoncheon County Governor Kim Kyou-seon, as well as city council members and private committee members, who will discuss the implementation status of the Gyeongwon Axis Regional Happy Life Zone projects and new agenda items.

The Gyeongwon Axis Council was established in 2014 with participation from five cities and counties—Yangju City, Dongducheon City, Uijeongbu City, Pocheon City, and Yeoncheon County—whose living areas are similar along the Gyeongwon Line axis, to develop mutual development measures including discovery of collaborative projects linked to the Gyeongwon Axis life zone.

In particular, the increased operation of Line 1 subway service (Yangju-Dongducheon section), which was a discussion agenda item of the Gyeongwon Axis Council last year and a long-cherished project of northern Gyeonggi Province, is scheduled to be promoted within this year. Additionally, the '4 Channels 3 Safety Gyeongwon Axis Safety Living System Construction Project,' jointly submitted to the 'Regional Development Committee' (a presidential committee) to improve the deteriorated road conditions of National Route 3 and National Route 43, was finally selected in March, producing tangible results.
