Yongin City to Invest 44.5 Billion KRW in Developing Five Underdeveloped Old Downtown Areas

[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province will invest 44.5 billion KRW this year to create parking lots, parks, and community facilities in five underdeveloped old downtown areas.

Yongin City will first build three parking lots, one small park, and one community facility that can be used as a village hall in Mapyeong 1 District, near the Yongin Indoor Gymnasium in Cheoin-gu. About 85% of the land compensation in Mapyeong 1 District has been completed, and construction has started mainly in areas where some compensation has been finalized.

In Gorim 1 District near Yongin Information High School, two parking lots with a capacity of 54 cars and two small parks will be created. Additionally, seven sections of old roads will be renovated. With a project budget of 11.4 billion KRW, Gorim 1 District will complete the compensation process by June and begin construction.

In Idong 2 District near Yongcheon Elementary School, one parking lot and two green spaces will be established, and in Singal 2 District, two parking lots and one community facility to be used as a senior center will be constructed.

Also, in Sanggal 1 District around the Gyeonggi Provincial Museum, one parking lot will be newly built, and a road renovation project for deteriorated roads will be carried out.

The city plans to complete residential environment improvement construction in Mapyeong 1 District, Singal 2 District, and Sanggal 1 District by the end of this year, and finish Gorim 1 District and Idong 2 District by the second half of next year.

A city official said, "Parking lots, parks, and community facilities are poor in the old downtown areas," adding, "We will promptly complete the compensation procedures and start construction to relieve residents' inconveniences and create a pleasant environment."
