Governor Kim Dong-yeon's Second Civil Economy Field Tour to be Held in Yangju and Namyangju

[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Kim Gab-dong] Governor Kim Dong-yeon of Gyeonggi Province, who has begun a civil economy field tour to inspect provincial governance issues and directly hear the voices of residents, has selected Yangju and Namyangju as his second destinations following Pyeongtaek.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 25th that Governor Kim will conduct a civil economy field tour in Yangju on the 26th and in Namyangju on the 27th.

This visit will focus on 'public healthcare' and 'regional welfare.'

Governor Kim plans to hold discussions at the sites of public medical centers in Yangju and Namyangju with local residents in attendance to address medical service gaps in the northeastern region. The Province is pursuing plans to establish public hospitals with at least 300 beds each in Baekbong-jigu, Namyangju and Okjeong New City, Yangju to expand medical infrastructure in the northern region. A session to hear opinions and difficulties regarding medical issues will also be arranged at Seo Jung University in Yangju.

Meetings with residents in need of active welfare policies are also scheduled. In Yangju, the Northern Disability Welfare Comprehensive Support Center, a hub for disability welfare services in northern Gyeonggi, will be visited, and in Namyangju, volunteer meal distribution service will be provided at a free meal center in Hopyeong-dong.

Governor Kim will also communicate with residents at various locations throughout the region, including visits to Yangju Byeolsan Dae Nori Plaza, Yangju Youth Center, and Bongseong Temple, the headquarters of the Jogye Order's 25th District in Namyangju.

During this field tour as well, Governor Kim will travel on the 'Dal-Dal Bus.' The bus, which displays 'Wherever we rush, things change (Dal-Dal)—Gyeonggi Civil Economy Field Tour Bus' on the exterior, operates in two units during the field tour period: one for traveling between civil economy sites and another for civil petitions where residents can converse and take a light rest.

Previously, Governor Kim attended the groundbreaking ceremony for TOK Advanced Materials Co., Ltd.'s Poseung plant in Pyeongtaek, the first destination of his civil economy tour on the 20th, and held discussions with automobile companies and auto parts manufacturers. He also communicated with seniors at a community center in Naegin 1-ri, conducted a merchant meeting at Tongbok Market, and took on a sales agency role at a tteok shop.
