Suwon Mayor Yeom Tae-young: "Third Phase of Gyeonggi Province Public Institutions Relocation Must Include Alternatives for Southern Region Residents"

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Suwon Mayor Yeom Tae-young stated regarding Gyeonggi Province's pursuit of the "third phase of public institutions relocation" that "I believe alternatives for administrative service access for residents of southern Gyeonggi will be prepared together."

Mayor Yeom said on the 17th through personal SNS, "I hope the relocation of Gyeonggi Province public institutions to northern Gyeonggi will not restrict administrative service access for residents of southern Gyeonggi" and "I also anticipate the preparation of alternatives for administrative service access for southern region residents."

Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung announced the "third phase of Gyeonggi Province public institutions relocation plan" on the 17th and stated that seven public institutions in Suwon City, including the Gyeonggi Research Institute, Gyeonggi Province Economic Science and Technology Promotion Agency, and Gyeonggi Credit Guarantee Foundation, will be relocated to the northern and eastern regions of Gyeonggi Province to achieve balanced regional development.

Mayor Yeom Tae-young said, "I understand the purpose of dispersing Gyeonggi Province public institutions from the perspective of balanced development," and added, "However, I hope the specific implementation methods will be discussed closely with Suwon City and the Gyeonggi Province Council."

"Currently, northern and eastern Gyeonggi are suffering from double and triple regulations," he continued, adding, "Efforts to achieve 'reasonable regulatory easing' as a solution to this should also be pursued simultaneously."
