Suwon City will undertake modernization projects for four traditional markets including Gwonseon Comprehensive Market, Youngdong Market, Citizen Commercial Market, and Motgol Comprehensive Market by the end of this year.

The city will invest a total of 1.086 billion won (60% national budget, 15% provincial and municipal budget, 10% market burden) to replace water supply, gas, and electrical facilities at the four traditional markets and install arcades.

Gwonseon Comprehensive Market will receive 153 million won to upgrade water supply and city gas facilities, while Youngdong Market will be allocated 100 million won to replace its self-generating power equipment (electrical facilities).

Additionally, Citizen Commercial Market will use 33 million won to install fire prevention closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, and Motgol Comprehensive Market will be allocated 80 million won to install arcades (arched roofs).

The city plans to begin preparing for market improvement projects, including securing and calculating self-funded project costs for each market.
