[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] The 'Suwon Freight Vehicle Public Parking Lot' under construction in the area of 551 Gosaeok-dong, Gwonseon-gu, Suwon City, is expected to be completed within March.

The public parking lot, which began construction in June of last year, will be developed on an area of 20,630 square meters. A total project cost of 20 billion won (5.1 billion won in national funds, 14.9 billion won in city funds) has been invested.
