"All Answers Are in the Field"… Pocheon Mayor Kim Jong-cheon's 'Field-Oriented Administration' Draws Attention

Pocheon Mayor Kim Jong-cheon is continuously pursuing field-oriented administration that seeks answers in the field, operating under the belief that "all civil petitions arise from the field, and all answers exist in the field."

On the 21st, Pocheon Mayor Kim Jong-cheon visited a Happy Housing construction site for residential stabilization, a furniture joint exhibition and sales venue and logistics center for small and medium enterprise support, the Pocheon Stream 2nd Ecological Stream Restoration Project and the Gwangam-Masan Road Expansion and Widening Construction Site, which are major projects, as well as three locations that are cluster complaint sites for odor and nuisance facilities.

The Happy Housing construction, scheduled for move-in in June 2018, involves constructing 342 units with an investment of 42.5 billion won in the Yongjung General Industrial Complex in Gunnaemyeon-eup. By supplying rental units at prices below market rate, the project aims to promote regional economic vitalization and urban vitality through the influx of young people. At this site, Mayor Kim urged faithful construction and completion without delay within the planned timeframe to ensure housing stability for citizens.

Additionally, Mayor Kim visited the furniture joint exhibition and sales venue and logistics center construction site, where 9.8 billion won is being invested in Yongjung General Industrial Complex in Gunnaemyeon-eup and scheduled to be completed in September this year. This initiative aims to enhance the competitiveness of small furniture businesses located in the northern Gyeonggi region centered on Pocheon through joint exhibition, sales, and logistics support. Mayor Kim urged the construction team to make their best efforts so that the facility can serve as a stepping stone for securing competitiveness of furniture businesses.

The Pocheon Stream 2nd Ecological Stream Restoration Project (from Huichae Bridge in Seondan-dong to Pocheon 1 Bridge in Sinup-dong), a major construction site with an investment of 21.5 billion worth, is currently in full progress with the goal of completion this year. Mayor Kim urged that the project be completed safely and beautifully to become a recreational space that citizens enjoy visiting.

Additionally, aimed at completion in July 2018, Mayor Kim visited the Gwangam-Masan Road Expansion and Widening Construction Site on Local Route 364, which connects Gwangam-dong in Dongducheon City and Gasan-myeon in Pocheon City, with 207.2 billion won invested. Mayor Kim urged the construction to be carried out from the perspective of petitioners and users, and worked with relevant officials to establish countermeasures to ensure the project proceeds without delay in terms of budget procurement and completion within the construction period.

Regarding other cluster complaint sites including pig farms, animal cremation facilities, and recycled aggregate depots, Mayor Kim urged administration that considers residents' positions and views matters from the residents' perspective.
