Pocheon City Secures Additional 9.8 Billion Won in Government Subsidies

Pocheon City (Mayor Kim Jong-cheon) has successfully secured approximately 9.8 billion won in government subsidies and special adjustment grants from Gyeonggi Province through proactive administrative efforts.

The city requested budget support from central government ministries and Gyeonggi Province for project funding across all city administration areas including roads, transportation, water supply, and disaster safety. As of September 28, the city has secured approximately 9.8 billion won in national and provincial funds.

In detail, the city secured 1.405 billion won in special grants from the Ministry of Interior and Safety (covering seven projects including the Soheul Gapressurizing Station) and 8.411 billion won in special adjustment grants from Gyeonggi Province (covering 12 projects including Youth Travel Storage Creation).

Mayor Kim Jong-cheon stated, "We will make every effort to secure national and provincial budget funds through active administration, minimizing the city's fiscal burden while ensuring that major projects promised to citizens proceed smoothly."

Meanwhile, since taking office in April, Mayor Kim Jong-cheon has pledged financial commitments including "securing sound local finances and maximizing efforts to secure national and provincial funds." In late April, the city made an early repayment of 8 billion won in local bonds, resulting in interest savings of approximately 1.1 billion won.
