Gwonseon District Development Impact Assessment Gathers Resident Opinion

Suwon City and Hyundai Industrial Development are soliciting resident opinions regarding anticipated impacts on living environment and property damage from the Gwonseon District urban development project.

According to the city, an environmental, traffic, and disaster impact assessment report (draft) for the Gwonseon District urban development project site covering an area of 992,248 square meters around Lot 222-1, Gwonseon-dong, Gwonseon-gu, was made available for public inspection and announced on the 19th of last month. Public inspection is available until the 17th.

Residents can submit opinions on measures to prevent and mitigate anticipated impacts on living environment and property damage from the Gwonseon District development, as well as noise and other unavoidable effects. Opinions must be submitted to the City Hall Public Development Division or the Gwonseon-gu Office Construction Division within seven days after the public inspection period ends.

Prior to this, Hyundai Industrial Development held a resident briefing session on the 26th of last month on the third floor of the Gwonseon 2-dong Community Center in Gwonseon-gu regarding the impact assessment.

At the resident briefing session, Hyundai Industrial Development announced that it is pursuing the urban development project as a high-end 'ART & DESIGN CITY'. The Gwonseon District development, which involves 1.2648 trillion won in project costs, will accommodate 7,098 households with a projected population of 19,875 residents.

After gathering resident opinions, the city plans to consult with relevant departments to notify the project operator of sections requiring modification and supplementation. Following the completion of administrative procedures including implementation plan approval, full-scale district construction is scheduled to begin around September this year.
