[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Paju City in Gyeonggi Province is set to actively promote the development project of Camp Stanton, the establishment of the Paju Medical Cluster, and the construction of Unjeong Technovalley. Previously, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety confirmed the 'Comprehensive Development Plan Amendment for Areas Surrounding U.S. Military Bases in Korea.'

On the 18th, Choi Jong-hwan, mayor of Paju City, stated, "With this amendment to the comprehensive plan, a green light has been given for balanced development and economic revitalization in the border areas that have made special sacrifices for national security over a long period."

The amended comprehensive plan adds industrial complex development to Camp Stanton among the 'Returned U.S. Military Base Development Projects,' in addition to existing educational facilities and urban development.

The city included 4 eup (towns), 9 myeon (townships), and 7 dong (neighborhoods), including Jori-eup and Munsan-eup, in the comprehensive plan amendment.

Under 'Local Government Projects and Private Investment Projects,' the Paju Medical Cluster, with an investment of 1.5 trillion won, and Unjeong Technovalley, valued at 195.8 billion won, were newly confirmed.

At Camp Stanton, plans include the construction of manufacturing and logistics facilities, broadcasting production facilities, and 974 units of detached and multi-family housing.

Through the reflection of this comprehensive plan, the city expects that private investment projects will benefit from simplified approval procedures, while projects directly undertaken by the local government will receive national and provincial funding support, leading to the development of the underdeveloped northern Gyeonggi region and playing a significant role in revitalizing the local economy.
