Gyeonggi-do, 500 Resident Participation Budget Proposals... 149 More Than Last Year

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] As a result of receiving citizen proposals related to the resident participatory budget, Gyeonggi Province has received about 500 cases.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 4th that a total of 500 cases were received, an increase of 149 cases compared to last year, as a result of the public contest for citizen proposal projects for the resident participatory budget worth 50 billion won to be reflected in next year's budget.

Among the proposed projects, living safety accounted for the largest number with 21 cases. This was followed by small library installations (10 cases), pets (8 cases), and child safety (7 cases).

The proposed projects will be finalized through a deliberation process including the public-private budget council, expert pre-consultations, review by the resident participatory budget committee, and online citizen voting.

The province plans to continuously accept resident participatory project proposals through its website (https://yesan.gg.go.kr).

An official from the province urged, "We hope for continuous interest and participation from many citizens so that various ideas experienced in daily life can be reflected in Gyeonggi Province's budget."
