Gwonseon-gu: "Gwonseon, a City of Hope Opening Suwon's Future"

Gwonseon-gu in Suwon City (District Chief Kim Myung-seon) has set this year's administrative goal as "Gwonseon, a City of Hope Opening Suwon's Future" and has begun earnest work.

This reflects the intention to wisely overcome difficult economic circumstances and convey a message of hope to residents.

First, the district recently posted a banner reading "Dad, hang in there, we're with you" on the front of the district office, and also replaced the office's on-hold music with the children's song "Dad, Hang in There," taking the initiative to lift spirits of both citizens visiting the district office and civil servants.

Starting with this, the district will focus on revitalizing the economy throughout the year, centering on activating Gwonseon Comprehensive Market, a traditional market, supporting Suwon Comprehensive Tool Complex, and operating corporate promotion booths during the 3rd Tulip Festival.

The district plans to install a merchant training center at Gwonseon Comprehensive Market and induce changes in market operation methods through merchant mindset change education and advanced market site visits by merchants. It will also organize a traditional market revitalization task force to provide support at the district level.

The district plans to open an urban planning road of 400 meters long and 15 meters wide around the Suwon Comprehensive Tool Complex, investing approximately 730 million won. It also plans to request that the area be excluded from land transaction permission zones at the higher administrative level.

Additionally, the district will establish the Gwonseon Love Women's Chorus in March and hold "visiting concerts" throughout the year for social welfare facilities and the underprivileged to build a happy city through cultural fulfillment.

The district will also promote the "Seoho Stream Landmark Project." This project will invest a total of 120 million won to landscape a 2-kilometer section from Seoho Park to Seongja Bridge by planting wild strawberries, cosmos flowers, and wildflowers to make the area a regional landmark.

The district has prioritized the new construction of Geumho-dong Community Center and the establishment of a new access road to Ipbuk-dong, and will proceed with these projects without delay.

The Geumho-dong Community Center will be built on a 2,066-square-meter lot in the Homaesil-dong 415-2 area with one basement level and four above-ground floors. A total of approximately 7.4 billion won in funding will be invested, including approximately 140 million won for design, approximately 3.7 billion won for land acquisition, and 3.5 billion won for construction, with groundbreaking scheduled for May.
