Gangwon Provincial Government

[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] The decision on whether to construct a new Gangwon Provincial Government Office building or relocate it will be made by the end of August.

According to Gangwon Province on the 22nd, the relocation site will be in the Chuncheon area, and based on the results of the "Basic Plan and Feasibility Study for New Office Building Construction" service, which ends on the 17th of next month, the construction or relocation of the new office building, specific location, and funding plans are expected to be decided.

Last year, various cities and counties within the province expressed their intentions to host the provincial government office, but it is reported that the feasibility of constructing on the current office site and several candidate sites in the Chuncheon area have been reviewed.

The schedule and scale for the new office building construction are planned to be by June 2027, with 2 basement floors to at least 10 floors above ground (53,000㎡), and the total budget is estimated to be approximately 250 billion to 300 billion KRW.

However, due to Gangwon Province's financial situation, there is also a possibility that the construction or relocation plan may be scrapped.

Governor Choi Moon-soon previously stated at a press conference marking his 10th anniversary in office at the end of April, "Originally, I intended to start construction during my term, but since it costs about 300 billion KRW, I have many concerns."

Therefore, depending on the service results, the decision on new construction, relocation within the Chuncheon area, or cancellation will be made, drawing attention to the Gangwon Provincial Government Office construction and relocation plans.
