Pyeongtaek City Holds Community Dialogue on Anjeong-ri Urban Regeneration Initiative

[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Seo Dong-young] Pyeongtaek City held a "Community Dialogue" on the 21st at Sion Church's Bethel Hall in Anjeong-ri, Baengseong-eup, with the theme of "Urban Regeneration Activation Plan for Anjeong Area."

Approximately 40 residents including Pyeongtaek Mayor Jung Jang-seon, members of the resident council, and heads of various organizations attended and presented diverse opinions.

Anjeong-ri was designated as a leading region through the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's Urban Regeneration New Deal project competition last December. In September, the "Urban Regeneration Activation Project for Anjeong Area" received final approval in the feasibility and validity assessment review. Through 2022, the project will be carried out with a total budget of 15 billion won, including 9 billion won in national funds, for community vitalization projects, regional environment improvement projects, and alley economy activation projects. The project began in earnest last month.

Mayor Jung Jang-seon emphasized, "Active participation and cooperation from residents are necessary for the successful urban regeneration of Anjeong Area," and stated, "Since various development projects are underway, we will make efforts for regional development by linking with urban regeneration projects."
