Pyeongtaek City Re-recruits Candidate Sites for Comprehensive Funeral Facilities Construction

[Suwon Ilbo=Park Chan-hyuk Reporter] Pyeongtaek City announced on the 12th that it will re-recruit candidate sites for public comprehensive funeral facilities construction until January 10 next year, as no areas passed the document screening from the previous recruitment period for comprehensive funeral facilities construction candidate sites.

From September to November, the city conducted 'public recruitment for candidate sites for Pyeongtaek City public comprehensive funeral facilities construction,' during which a total of two villages submitted applications. However, due to incomplete documentation and other issues resulting in no qualified applicant sites, the Pyeongtaek City Comprehensive Funeral Facilities Construction Promotion Committee decided to re-recruit candidate sites.

Villages wishing to attract the facility must establish a recruitment committee through a village general meeting, obtain consent from 60% or more of households registered as residents in the resident registration at the time of the announcement, and submit an attraction application to the City Hall's Elderly and Disabled Persons and Elderly Welfare Team.

The village that attracts the comprehensive funeral facilities will be granted resident support projects within 5 billion won and operation rights for ancillary facilities such as restaurants, convenience stores, and cafes, and will also be provided employment opportunities.

For areas within 1 km from the boundary of the comprehensive funeral facilities installation site, resident support projects of 10 billion won are planned, and for the eup/myeon/dong to which the recruitment village belongs, long-standing eup/myeon/dong projects of 5 billion won are planned. For areas that are rejected after applying for recruitment, village long-standing projects of 300 million won are planned as a measure of consolation and harmony.

The final candidate site for construction will be selected in March next year through document requirement screening, on-site inspection, location feasibility study, and the Pyeongtaek City Comprehensive Funeral Facilities Construction Promotion Committee screening process, targeting attraction applications received during the re-recruitment announcement period.
