Uiwang City Hall Expansion Completed...Relocated Departments Begin Operations on the 18th

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jeong Junsung] Uiwang City announced on the 13th that it has completed the expansion project of its City Hall and will begin relocating relevant departments to commence operations starting the 18th.

Since opening in September 1993, the city has undertaken the expansion project to address increased administrative demand due to population growth from urban development projects and to secure adequate office space.

With a total project investment of approximately 10 billion won, the city has established a 2-story Administrative Building (2,027㎡) and Council Building (791㎡), as well as a ground-level piloti parking lot.

Five departments are scheduled to relocate to the expanded Administrative Building: the External Office's Environmental Division, Parks and Greenery Division, and the Main Office's Self-Governing Administrative Division, Business Support Division, and Urban Regeneration Division. The Council Building will be used as a civic complaint center, meeting rooms, and other facilities.

After conducting a preliminary on-site inspection on the 13th, relevant departments will relocate and begin operations starting the 18th, with guidance provided through the city's website and other channels to minimize inconvenience to visitors.

The city expects that the City Hall expansion will resolve office space shortages, and by consolidating services dispersed across external facilities into City Hall, citizens will experience improved convenience and receive higher-quality services.

Uiwang Mayor Kim Sang-don stated, "Through the expansion of City Hall and improved working environment for civil servants, we will provide citizens with better administrative services."
