Hwaseong City Mayor Jung Myeong-geun Inspects ASML Hwaseong New Campus Construction Site

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Lee Suwon] Hwaseong City Mayor Jung Myeong-geun visited the ASML Hwaseong New Campus construction site in the Dongtan Songdong area on the 29th with ASML officials.

This site visit was arranged to inspect the progress of the ASML Hwaseong New Campus, which broke ground in 2023 and is currently under construction, as well as the new investment site. At this meeting, Mayor Jung received reports on major pending issues and action plans from relevant departments to provide administrative support.

Additionally, ASML proposed the creation of a "perimeter trail" around the ASML development site as part of a mutual prosperity cooperation initiative with local residents.

ASML is the world's leading semiconductor equipment company that uniquely produces extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography equipment necessary for semiconductor manufacturing. The company is currently constructing the ASML Hwaseong New Campus in Hwaseong City, which includes the ASML headquarters building, a training center, and a remanufacturing center, and is scheduled for completion in August of next year.

In addition, ASML continues active social contribution activities with the local community, including donation of funds for the vulnerable population, volunteer activities to improve living environments at child care facilities, provision of coding education programs using robot kits for Banggyo Elementary School students, and marine cleanup activities along the West Coast.

Meanwhile, the city established a Large-Scale Investment Attraction Support Task Force in July and is making efforts to activate investment attraction and provide One-Stop administrative services by supporting rapid licensing and resolution of difficulties for large-scale investment companies.

Hwaseong City Mayor Jung Myeong-geun said, "We will not spare administrative support, such as creating a perimeter trail where ASML and local residents can work together, so that the world-renowned semiconductor equipment company ASML can settle stably in Hwaseong City and become an exemplary case of mutual prosperity between business and the local community," and added, "We hope for uninterrupted progress in ASML's investment plans being pursued in Hwaseong City and continued interest and investment in Hwaseong City when reviewing new investment projects."
