[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park Chan-hyuk] Anseong City announced on the 2nd that it has secured a total of 15.2 billion won in special transfer tax and special adjustment subsidies for the second half of 2024.

The secured budget consists of 3.86 billion won for 5 projects from the Ministry of Public Administration and Security's special transfer tax and 11.37 billion won for 10 projects from Gyeonggi Province's special adjustment subsidy.

Major special transfer tax projects include △Gosam Lake waterfront development project 800 million won △Small river improvement project 1 billion won △Heavy snow damage port recovery expenses 860 million won △Heavy snow damage emergency recovery expenses 1.2 billion won. Special adjustment subsidies include △Chilgok Sunset Lake creation project 4 billion won △Gosam Lake waterfront development project 2.2 billion won △Crime-vulnerable area crime prevention CCTV installation project 1.31 billion won △Samheung-Mijang road expansion and widening project 1 billion won, and others.

In particular, through the securing of this special transfer tax and special adjustment subsidy, concerns had arisen about implementation difficulties for next year's projects as 14.7 billion won in expenditure budget was reduced to respond to heavy snow damage in November during the revision of the budget process, including 3 billion won for the Gosam Lake waterfront development project and 4 billion won for the Chilgok Sunset Lake creation project. However, through this budget securing, normal implementation of lake tourism projects has now become possible. Additionally, through securing special transfer tax funds for recovery of public sports facilities from heavy snow damage, plans are in place to ensure swift implementation.

In addition, through expanding CCTV installation for citizen safety, implementing the large-scale Samheung-Mijang road expansion and widening project, and proceeding with small river improvement projects, the city plans to make every effort to seamlessly pursue major projects despite difficult fiscal conditions.

Anseong Mayor Kim Bo-ra stated, "I express gratitude to all those who worked hard to secure this special transfer tax and special adjustment subsidy," and added, "Given that these are funds secured during difficult times, I will do my best to promote projects for citizens' safety and happiness, and will continue to make every effort to secure budgets through ongoing recommendations for projects that are urgently needed by citizens."
