Yongin Mayor Lee Sang-il Receives Appreciation Plaques from Residents of 8 Villages That Received City Gas Supply

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] On the 9th, Yongin Special City Mayor Lee Sang-il received appreciation plaques from residents of 8 villages in the Chein area at the city hall video conference room, where city gas supply has been completed.

The presentation ceremony was attended by 27 people, including resident representatives and residents from 8 villages: Agok 1-ri in Namsa Eup, Seo 3-ri in Idong Eup, Chobu 1-ri in Mohyeon Eup, Sinwon 1-ri in Pogok Eup, Songmun 2-ri in Yangji Myeon, Saam 5-ri, Saam 7-ri, and Jwaang 3-ri in Wonsam Myeon.

Residents of 450 households in these 8 villages had long suffered from inconvenience due to lack of city gas supply, which was deemed uneconomical and unprofitable. However, they were able to receive city gas supply after the city took active steps to address the issue.

Park Ji-young, chief of Agok 1-ri, said, "I am sincerely grateful that Mayor Lee directly made efforts to bring city gas to our village, for which there was no promise of when it would arrive."

Mayor Lee Sang-il said, "This should have been done sooner and should have been done as a matter of course, so I apologize for receiving this plaque. I will take the meaning of this appreciation plaque to heart and work even harder for the development of the city and our citizens."
