Yangpyeong County Launches Major Initiative to Relocate Eastern Administrative Functions

[Suwon Ilbo=Eom In-yong Reporter] Yangpyeong County announced on the 29th that it will actively pursue the relocation of eastern administrative functions, a key pledge of the ninth term elected government.

The project, a major pledge of the ninth term, is designed to narrow the gap in administrative services between regions, realize balanced regional development, efficiently disperse administrative functions, and establish a foundation for all residents to conveniently use administrative services.

Governor Jeon Jin-seon conducted an on-site inspection of relocation candidate sites, including the Yongmun Health Promotion Support Center, Yangpyeong Eastern Youth Culture Center, and Yongmun-myeon Office, comprehensively evaluating accessibility, facility utilization potential, and space scale. Based on this, the county plans to continue detailed deliberations on target departments for relocation and relocation methods.

The county plans to review options for prioritizing the relocation of select departments in line with the year-end organizational restructuring this year, and then progressively relocate target departments to continue expanding eastern administrative functions.

Governor Jeon Jin-seon stated, "The relocation of eastern administrative functions is not simply about moving office spaces, but rather an important policy to realize balanced development between regions and bring administration closer to residents," adding, "We will make every effort to efficiently utilize public property while phasing in administrative functions to improve accessibility to administration for residents of the eastern region and invigorate the area with new vitality."
