[Suwon Ilbo=Lee Su-won Reporter] Pyeongtaek City held the '2024 Civic Achievement Award Ceremony for Pyeongtaek City Development' on the 3rd at the City Hall conference room.

The awards ceremony, held to express gratitude to citizens who have dedicated themselves and volunteered for city development, was conducted separately from the main Pyeongtaek Citizens' Day event, with invitations extended only to award recipients for city development.

The ceremony began with a congratulatory performance by the Good Morning Chamber Orchestra, comprised of string musicians including violinists, violists, and cellists from the Pyeongtaek area, followed by a congratulatory address and remarks. A total of 83 distinguished citizens of Pyeongtaek, selected across various fields including contributions to law and order, received certificates of commendation from the Gyeonggi Province Governor, Pyeongtaek City Mayor, Pyeongtaek City Council Speaker, and National Assembly members, celebrating the moment with colleagues and family members.

Mayor Jung Jang-seon said in his remarks, "I express my gratitude to all award recipients and citizens who have contributed to city development. It is through the efforts to help those in need around us, and to respect and cooperate with one another, that Pyeongtaek City has been built today. Going forward, I will work together with all citizens to create an even more prosperous and happy Pyeongtaek City."

Meanwhile, the 29th Pyeongtaek Citizens' Day commemoration ceremony will be held on the 10th at the Nambu Cultural Arts Center Grand Performance Hall, featuring pre-performance, citizen reader's theatre, and citizen interviews, with a celebratory performance planned at the fountain plaza in front of City Hall.
