The Goyang City New City Hall is planned to begin construction in 2023 on the site of Jugyo No. 1 Public Parking Lot and be completed in 2025.

Meanwhile, the investment plan for the new city hall submitted by the city reflected the necessity and appropriateness of the budget and proposed an efficient and citizen-centered direction for the city hall construction, considering citizen convenience.
